Victor Wembanyama, Giannis Thrill NBA Fans with Epic Duel as Bucks Beat Spurs

Victor Wembanyama put on a show on his 20th birthday Thursday night in a 125-121 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.

The San Antonio Spurs rookie had 27 points, nine rebounds and five blocks on the night while battling against Bucks' superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. While the Spurs couldn't come away with the win, it was a positive sign to see San Antonio, which is now 5-29 on the season, playing close against one of the best teams in the NBA.

Wembanyama also provided a few memorable highlights on his birthday.

With the game coming down to the wire, Wembanyama came up with a clutch block against Damian Lillard and followed it up with a three at the end.

In the final minute of the game with the Spurs down three, he once again came up with a huge block, this time over Antetokounmpo.

The pair of clutch plays ultimately weren't enough as San Antonio came up short in the final seconds.

Despite the loss, another big game for Wembanyama full of highlights had NBA fans excited for what's to come for the emerging star. The battle between Wembanyama and Antetokounmpo also gave fans some regular-season excitement.

The Spurs might not be making a Finals run this season, but Thursday night's game from Wembanyama provided evidence he's ready to show up for his team in big moments.
