Victor Wembanyama<\/a> for most of Game 2 and slowed him down. The Thunder big man’s physical play was a game-changer inside, even though he may have crossed the line.<\/p>\nIsaiah Hartenstein played like a classic NBA enforcer<\/h2>\n
Wembanyama put up 21 points and collected 17 rebounds, but that’s far fewer than his 41 and 25 in Game 1. Hartenstein slowed down Wembanyama by a strategy informally known as “fouling the hell out of him.”<\/p>\n
Hartenstein repeatedly hooked Wembanyama\u2019s arm, shoved and pulled him down, but picked up only four fouls in the process. It was a level of physicality that bothered Wemby and led to Hartenstein grabbing eight offensive rebounds. Occasionally, Wembanyama’s most effective offensive move was to put back his own misses.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
