The Minnesota Timberwolves secured a narrow victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday, winning 112-110 at Target Center. While the Timberwolves celebrated their triumph, all eyes were on Spurs rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama, whose remarkable performance earned admiration from all.
One of the game’s most memorable moments came when Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo attempted to challenge Wembanyama at the rim. DiVincenzo went for a dunk over the towering Spurs big man.
While he nearly succeeded, the ball ultimately failed to go through the hoop. After the missed dunk, DiVincenzo humorously acknowledged Wembanyama’s defensive presence by gesturing the “too small” motion, ironically directed at himself.
