Wembanyama Sets NBA Postseason Block Record

In the Spurs’ Game 1 win over the Timberwolves, Victor Wembanyama recorded 11 blocks, setting a new NBA postseason single‑game record.

Wembanyama’s defensive fireworks began with 10 blocks in the first three quarters, a feat only three players have achieved. He added a final block in the fourth quarter, totaling 11 and eclipsing the previous record set by Andrew Bynum, Hakeem Al‑Juwon, and Mark Eaton. game-sweetbonanza.com

The 2‑foot‑9 giant’s play was pivotal as San Antonio edged Minnesota, with the Spurs holding a slim lead into the final period. Despite a modest 6‑point scoring output, Wembanyama’s impact was undeniable, solidifying his status as the league’s premier rim protector.
