Wembanyama stymied in Game 1 of the French league finals
AS Monaco got off to a fast start and never let up in their humbling victory over Mets 92 in Game 1 of the LNB Pro A Finals. Wembanyama and company could never establish any semblance of an offense or a presence on defense which led to the team getting completely outclassed.
Monaco, led by former Phoenix Sun, Mike James, along with a supporting cast of several former NBA players definitely showed why they are the number one seed in the LNB Pro A playoffs. Monaco led by 31 at the half and won by a final score 87-64.
Not many highlights for Victor (the game got out of hand pretty quickly and he didn’t get many minutes) but here are a couple:
Wemby picks up a block on former Spur, Donatas Motiejūnas, early in the 1st quarter:
