Basketball is a game of decisions, and early on in Game 5, Victor Wembanyama had a tough choice to make. At the 8:11 mark of the first quarter, Ayo Dosunmu went right up to Wemby after the Minnesota Timberwolves guard made a tough baseline jumper and proceeded to talk smack.
Looking down at Dosunmu, the 7-foot-4 big man could have done a number of different things. Many of these scenarios could have gone horribly wrong.
In that instant, Wembanyama decided to smile, say a few words back at his opponent, and focus on the next play. Moments later, he was driving past Dosunmu and ferociously dunking the ball to the delight of the San Antonio faithful.
It’s not easy to restrain one’s emotions in the high-stakes environment of Game 5, but Wembanyama saw right through Dosunmu’s actions.
“I feel like the rage-baiting would have been maybe one of their strategies. So I feel like I need to stay composed as a team,” the two-time All-Star said after the Spurs’ 126-97 win.
