Monday, during the NBA regular season match won by the Philadelphia Sixers over the San Antonio Spurs (133-123), Victor Wembanyama, the French prodigy of the Texan franchise, scored 33 points (10/19 on the shoot including 2/ 5 to three points). His second best performance of the season – his first in the NBA – following the 38 points he scored in Phoenix in November.
Embiid passes Chamberlain and Iverson
But Wembanyama’s performance was eclipsed by that of Joel Embiid, the pivot of the 76ers, MVP of the previous season. The latter actually scored 70 points (24/41 shooting, including 1/2 three-pointers). He also grabbed 18 rebounds. Embiid became the record holder for points scored in a single game by a Sixers player, surpassing the legendary Wilt Chamberlain, who scored 68 in 1967.
During his fabulous career, Chamberlain passed the 60-point mark three times with the Sixers. He still holds the record for points scored in a single NBA game (100 in 1962 under the colors of the Philadelphia Warriors, now the Golden State Warriors). Another 76ers legend, Allen Iverson scored 60 points during a game in February 2005.
San Antonio reacted at the end of the match
Last in the Western Conference with only eight victories in 43 matches played, the San Antonio Spurs did not let themselves be fooled by the Philadelphia Sixers, who were ranked third in the East. The Texans trailed 110-91 with ten minutes left in the game.
But they were only nine points behind 2’37” from the buzzer (127-118). Philadelphia then gave a final push, carried in particular by Embiid, to regain a 15-point lead (133-118) and move towards victory.
Tyrese Maxey (18 pts) and Tobias Harris (14) also contributed to the victory for the 76ers. The latter are now on a series of six consecutive successes. Nicolas Batum scored five points, grabbed eight rebounds, delivered six assists and signed three interceptions. In the ranks of San Antonio, in addition to Wembanyama’s performance, Devin Vassell scored 22 points.

During the last day of broadcasts of Monday Night RAW via USA Network, the superstars CM Punk y Cody Rhodes They had their first verbal exchange within the programming of WWE.
This week’s episode in New Orleans, Louisiana saw The American Nightmare making his thunderous entrance before the public.

After a friendly handshake, the words began to flow: “We’ve been on different paths,” Punk said. “Saturday night can change everything, and on Sunday I hope we stay friends. But today I want us to enjoy this moment.”
Faced with Cody’s classic question, CM Punk launched a first dagger: “I want to talk regarding your father“The wrestler recalled a call from Dusty Rhodes in 2007, where the legend asked him for help to accompany his son in Ohio Valley Wrestling. “I’m proud of the star you’ve become., and I tell you this because on Saturday I will break a promise. “As soon as the bell rings, I will do whatever it takes to star in WrestleMania.”
“I’ve worked with many contemporaries and legends who see Dusty in my eyes,” Cody said in response. “You and I know that I’m doing everything I can to live with that shadow instead of living under it.” The American Nightmare He remembered the moments shared with CM Punk to the point of becoming a friend. “But there is a problem: in Royal Rumble there are no friends“.
“But what will happen on Sunday morning?” Punk responded. “I can separate business from personal life. You can do it? Unlike you, I didn’t have a famous dad. My father was an electrician, someone else making a living. AND Funnily enough, that makes me more of an American Dream. (American Dream) than you are.” These words activated Rhodes’ most visceral side on the microphone, recalling his opponent’s classic promo in 2011.
“I took everything you said in your pipebomb and did it to the letter. And that maybe makes me more CM Punk than you are.” The Best in the World He credited his opponent for “taking care of the company for two years,” but noted that his path would always be overshadowed by a higher-caliber star. A brief disrespect from Rhodes towards Punk started a tense face-to-face surrounded by public noise. With much greater calm, both superstars went their separate ways to close their verbal exchange.
