Victor Wembanyama was the story of the night, starting the second he walked into the arena — dressed as Kaonashi from the movie “Spirited Away.”

Once the game tipped off, Wembanyama was not faceless to the Jazz — they had no answer for him.

To put Wembanyama’s night in a little more historic context:

Wembanyama needed a good night. He has struggled with his outside shot to start the season, shooting just 25% on jumpers outside the paint coming into this game. Knocking down four 3-pointers could help that cause, although he needed 13 shots to get there (30.8%). For the night Wembanyama’s shooting trends continued, he was 4-of-6 in the paint and 5-of-14 outside it.

However, he impacted the game at both ends, Chris Paul had a strong outing with 19 points and 10 assists, and the Spurs improved to 2-3 on the young season.
