Amen Thompson, the Houston Rockets’ super-athletic third-year wing, delivered one of Wednesday night’s defining highlights when he detonated at the rim for an emphatic poster over San Antonio Spurs big man Luke Kornet, a moment that immediately reverberated across the league. Wembanyama finished with 28 points, 16 rebounds, and five blocks, numbers that reflected just how much control the Spurs seized down the stretch. Despite the outcome, Thompson remained the Rockets’ most dynamic presence for much of the night. His poster dunk over Kornet later in the third quarter briefly pushed the team ahead and crystallized the leap the third-year wing is making as a physical force. As the Spurs packed the paint, the Rockets’ offense slowed, and Thompson became more deferential rather than attacking.
