In a battle between two of the game's best big men and brightest young stars, the Oklahoma City Thunder's Chet Holmgren outdueled the San Antonio Spurs' Victor Wembanyama en route to leading his team to a 105-93 win.
Holmgren finished with 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting, five rebounds, two steals and two blocks in 28 minutes. Meanwhile, Wembanyama struggled through an off-night, scoring a career-low six points on 1-of-5 shooting while adding eight rebounds and three blocks.
These two are certainly bound to have a host of battles as their careers move forward, and the rivalry already has a little juice in its early stages.
