I’m not saying I knew this series would go to a Game 7. But when our fearless leader, J.R. Wilco, asked me to quit submitting “The Adventures of Wembanyama and Grogu” fan fiction graphic novels to publish because this is primarily a Spurs community site, I begrudgingly and enthusiastically volunteered to sign up for Game 7 highlights.
And boy, were there highlights to be had! Victor Wembanyama scored a team-high 22 points along with 7 rebounds while Julian Champagnie uncorked 20 points on 6 – 10 shooting from downtown. It was truly a team effort as all five starters scored in the double digits, and Dylan Harper and Keldon Johnson got in on the action off the bench, scoring 12 and 11, respectively.
Emotional players play emotionally. If anyone thought Wembanyama wouldn’t come out angry, aggressive, angrily aggressively angry, then what team have you been watching? Sure, he almost fouled out of the game, but we can’t blame that on emotions. Blame it on the eternal battle between the two neighboring states’ powerhouse gas stations: Love’s and Buc-ees. One’s a nice, convenient gas station whenever you need one and the other is a roadside Texas-wrapped beef jerky haven, brisket brimming, peanut brittle laden, coven of kolaches, disguised as a refueling station. If Darth Vader loved clean restrooms and mascot beavers, he’d probably have a Buc-ees set up every 0.00000000000000324 parsecs on the Death Star. And Buc-ees would have a billboard anchored to every other asteroid floating through space: “Just 100 more light years until the next Buc-ees!”

The beaver won this round. But it’s going to be a bloody battle for years to come.
This, like it’s been all season, is a Julian Champagnie appreciation post. He showed up for every single game (literally) this season for the Spurs and put in a very agrarian consistency that was often appreciated but sometimes overlooked. It’s no surprise then to see that when the moment shined brightest, Champagnie did not shy away and helped his team punch their ticket to the big dance.
99.99% sure Mitch Johnson decided to slow roll the number two…
