Victor Wembanyama turned around a slow start to his three-point shooting by hitting six in the San Antonio Spurs' 111-110 loss to the Utah Jazz on Saturday. Wembanyama was 6-of-9 from deep and 8-of-15 from the field. Wembanyama entered Saturday having shot just 13-of-41 from 3-point range over his previous five games. 


"He made shots that he's missed earlier [this season]," Spurs interim coach Mitch Johnson said. "So, there's not a reaction either way. He's a phenomenal shooter. We want him shooting all those shots."


"I don't think there's really a corner to be turned," Wembanyama said. "That's not how progression goes. I'm not going to be shooting 66% in my career. But I'm also not going to be shooting 25%. This is how progression goes. You don't want to react one way or the other."


Wembanyama also became the second player in league history with six 3s and seven blocks in a game, joining Brook Lopez, who did it in 2017. The performance marked Wembanyama's third career game with at least five 3-pointers and five blocks, tying Kristaps Porzingis for the second most in NBA history, behind Raef LaFrentz, who had four.

I wonder who's the player who has the most 3 point shots made in the 3rd quarter from the right corner, when waking up on the left side of the bed?

Somewhat inevitable given the volume of 3s he's been shooting, coupled to the other stuff which he actually does really well. He was going to hit a bunch in a single game eventually.

What an honor for Wemby to be right up there with the legendary Brook Lopez. :lol:
