In a loss to the Knicks, the Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama posted 42 points, 18 rebounds, four assists and four blocks, a stat line matched only once since 1991.

The San Antonio Spurs fell short on Christmas Day to the New York Knicks in Victor Wembanyama's second year, and while he filled the stat sheet, the Silver & Black left Madison Square Garden empty handed.

On Wednesday afternoon, Victor Wembanyama played the role of the Frenchman who tried to steal Christmas. His role comes a year after a poor performance in his Madison Square Garden debut just eight games into his NBA career: 14 points on 4-of-14 shooting to go along with nine rebounds and a block.
