The Spurs took an 18-point lead as the Nets tried to cut the deficit before the second quarter buzzer sounded. Nets forward Nic Claxton nonchalantly took a short shot with 40.1 seconds left, but Wembanyama blocked it. Nets forward Terance Mann tried to put the ball into the net with an offensive rebound, but saw his shot blocked by Wembanyama.
Brooklyn missed a shot on the second offensive rebound and the ball went into the hands of Wembanyama.
The 2.80 tall French player drove the ball down the floor and scored a three-pointer.
