Evan Sidery also added more context.
Via Sidery: "France was down 12 to Brazil before Victor Wembanyama decided to singlehandedly take over the game.

Wembanyama continues to amaze fans as he is only 20 years old and is arguably a top-10 player in the NBA.
He was the first pick in the 2023 NBA Draft and finished his rookie year with averages of 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.2 steals and 3.6 blocks per contest while shooting 46.5% from the field and 32.5% from the three-point range in 71 games.
In addition to Wembanyama's big day, France was also led by Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum.
He had 19 points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals while shooting 6/13 from the field and 3/9 from the three-point range.
