What happened: Victor Wembanyama recorded his fifth career game with at least 40 points in under 30 minutes of action. The performance tied Stephen Curry for the most such games in NBA history. Wembanyama displayed signature post moves honed during off-court training sessions with Hakeem Olajuwon.
Why it matters: Matching Curry places Wembanyama alongside the premier per-minute scoring threats in league history. The footwork sessions reflect past private tutoring that Hakeem Olajuwon held with elite NBA scorers looking to expand their low-post repertoire.
By the numbers: Wembanyama and Stephen Curry share the all-time NBA record with five career 40-point games in under 30 minutes played.
What to watch: San Antonio continues regular-season play as Wembanyama integrates refined interior moves into his offensive arsenal.
