Sensational San Antonio rookie Victor Wembanyama scored 40 points and grabbed 20 rebounds to help the Spurs withstand a stunning 61-point performance from New York’s Jalen Brunson in a 130-126 NBA overtime victory over the Knicks on Saturday.
French star Wembanyama became the first rookie to record a 40-point, 20-rebound game since Shaquille O’Neal had 46 and 21 in 1993.
The 20-year-old added seven assists, two steals and a blocked shot as he and the Spurs spoiled a career night for Brunson — who finished one point shy of the Knicks’ franchise record of 62 points in a game, set by Carmelo Anthony in 2014.
