Victor Wembanyama came up with some big plays to help the San Antonio Spur earn the first victory of his NBA career. While happy with his end-game performance, Wembanyama knows he has to improve to be better from the jump.

"All my life, I have preferred the end of the (game) because I feel better. But I have to do better before. It is one of my areas of improvement: play hard from the start," Wembanyama said.

The first overall pick finished with 21 points, 12 rebounds, three steals and three blocks. Wembanyama shot 7-of-19 from the field and missed all six of his three-point attempts.
