Wembanyama Leads France to OT Win Over Japan

Victor Wembanyama continues to dominate on the world stage, leading France to a 94-90 overtime victory against Japan in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Wembanyama scored 18 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, and added six assists in the matchup, which featured a viral moment with Japan's 5-foot-6 guard Yuki Togashi. Despite his impressive performance, it was Matthew Strazel's clutch four-point play in the final seconds of regulation that sent the game into overtime. Wembanyama then went on a personal 8-0 run to start OT, securing the win for France. The French team, featuring other NBA stars like Rudy Gobert, remains undefeated and will face Germany next. Japan's performance was notable, especially with Yuki Kawamura scoring 29 points despite the loss.
