embanyama didn't wait for the game to come to him. The first quarter alone moved the curve into double digits, and from there the question became whether the rest of the night could keep up.
The second quarter is where it broke open — wembanyama tip dunk shot (29 pts) (+3.0). From that possession on, the curve never had to be rebuilt the same way twice.
The fourth was control. Wembanyama closed at +18.2 without needing a final flourish to get there.
