April 29 (UPI) -- Victor Wembanyama said he is "hungry for even better matchups" after the San Antonio Spurs closed out the Portland Trail Blazers with a Game 5 playoff win.
The NBA MVP finalist totaled 17 points, 14 rebounds, six blocks and three assists to help the second-seeded Spurs beat the No. 7 Blazers 114-95 on Tuesday in San Antonio. With the victory, the Spurs won their first playoff series since 2017.
"That was just one example of how a series can go, and that's a good way to start the playoffs," Wembanyama told reporters. "We gained experience and I'm still hungry for even better matchups."
All-Star guard De'Aaron Fox registered 21 points, including 13 in the fourth quarter. He also chipped in nine assists for the Spurs, who outshot their foes 54.7% to 35.1%.
