Watch: Victor Wembanyama schools Jabari Parker Jr., blocking him twice within 4 seconds

Victor Wembanyama had his first taste of victory in the NBA regular season after a triumphant comeback against the Houston Rockets on Friday. After a bad start, the French rookie came alive at the end of the fourth quarter, and it started by blocking Jabari Smith Jr.'s shot twice.

At the 2:09 mark, Smith tried to score a slam dunk over Wembanyama but the seven-foot-four frame came in the way. With the ball still at play, Smith tried again for a putback but Wemby's long arms were quick to block the shot. All of this happened in just four seconds.

The Spurs made a full comeback and tied the game with a Victor Wembanyama drive with 20.2 seconds left, as the game went to overtime. San Antonio ultimately won 126-122.

Jabari Smith Jr. entered his second year in the NBA but struggled in the game, shooting 5-of-16 from the field. At the end of the game, he posted a stat line of 13 points, eight rebounds, and two three-pointers.
