Giannis Antetokounmpo came out on top in the stats battle, but Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs won the war.
Wembanyama dominated on both ends a day after getting his first All-Star nod as the Spurs dominated the Milwaukee Bucks, 144-118, Saturday, February 1.

The reigning Rookie of the Year put up 30 points, 14 rebounds, and six blocks including two denials on Antetokounmpo in consecutive possessions.
2 POSSESSIONS. 2 WEMBY BLOCKS. 👽

The NBA's leader in blocks and blocks per game is DOING IT!
Wemby also connected on a ridiculous one-legged three-pointer as San Antonio rode a strong 45-30 third frame en route to avenging an earlier 121-105 loss to Milwaukee three weeks ago.
Meanwhile, Antetokounmpo unloaded a 35-point, 14-rebound double-double in a second straight Bucks loss for a 26-20 win-loss slate.
GIANNIS' TURN. 🤧

Quick spin. Brute force. Strong slam. 💪
Milwaukee returns home to host the Memphis Grizzlies (32-16) while San Antonio eyes back-to-back wins in facing the Miami Heat.
