Victor Wembanyama Posterizes Draymond Green: 'You Have to Respond a Certain Way' to Trash Talk

Wembanyama posted 26 points and 12 rebounds while responding to Green’s trash talk after a foul-ruled alley-oop dunk in a close 109-108 Warriors victory.

  • During the Spurs–Warriors game on Friday, Victor Wembanyama elevated on a baseline lob and finished through contact, but referees ruled the foul before he gained control, so the dunk did not count, igniting a heated confrontation at Frost Bank Center.
  • Draymond Green's physical play before the inbounds included jawing and digging his shoulder into Victor Wembanyama, creating tension that led to the baseline inbound play and contested finish.
  • Wembanyama finished with 26 points and 12 rebounds, while Stephen Curry scored 49 as the Golden State Warriors rallied for a 109-108 victory, outscoring the Spurs 32-29 in the fourth quarter comeback NBA Cup game.
  • After the exchange on the court, players and officials separated Wembanyama and Green, shifting the Frost Bank Center's energy and setting a playoff-like tone for the fourth quarter.
  • Despite the flare-up, Wembanyama said, `I was not trying to prove anything to anybody, it's just, at some point-- just like anybody, if somebody speaks to you a certain way, you have to respond a certain way`, and largely controlled the matchup while Green was effective as his primary defender in the two-game stand.
