Victor Wembanyama did not have a good night shooting the ball on Wednesday against the Raptors in Toronto.
The Spurs superstar went 3-for-12 from the field, including 1-for-6 from deep, to total only 12 points—well below his season average of 24.2 points per night and his worst game of the year in terms of made field goals. The rest of his San Antonio teammates struggled to a similar degree against an elite Raptors defense and were down by 15 late in the third quarter. A loss seemed all but fated headed into the final frame; few teams can dig themselves out of a hole like that when their star player is having an off night against a good opponent.
