Victor Wembanyama addressed the crowd in French before the game.
“I don’t know what Victor said before the game, but whatever he said worked,” Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said.
Spurs won 140-110. – 4:42 PM

The hype was real around Victor Wembanyama and the second-year star is now reshaping the NBA as we know it.

This game got away from the Pacers in the 3rd. Just brutal.
Outscored 45-23 — the most by an opponent all season — and the Pacers trail 105-80 after 3.
Wemby leads all with 24/11. – 3:52 PM

I hope Wemby in Paris becomes an annual thing moving forward. He’s going to be the face of the league very soon, and giving him a signature slot on the regular season schedule makes plenty of sense. – 3:50 PM

Pacers beginning to hit the floor for pregame warmups. This one is their home game so they’re going to make it feel like GFH as much as possible despite Wemby returning home.
