Victor Wembanyama was leaving his hotel suite. Ron Pavalonis said good luck. Ten minutes after that, Phil Godlewski's whole group had to be out. Twenty grand worth of hotel room, done before dinner.

Phil Godlewski checked into two different hotels that night. First one, a twenty-thousand-dollar Ritz-Carlton penthouse, hadn't made it past five o'clock. His eleven-year-old son's goodwill toward Victor Wembanyama didn't make it much longer.
