It came after he matched the record in the third, setting a franchise record in the process:

The young star had an incredible start with eight first-half blocks in Game 1 of the second-round series.

Wembanyama became the NBA's first unanimous Defensive Player of the Year this season, and he reminded fans why he holds that title.

If Wembanyama continues to protect the rim as he did in this one, the Spurs could be a tough team to beat in this postseason.
