To that effect, Pistons center Jalen Duren bore the responsibility of guarding Wemby for most of the night, but JD held his own on defense against his All-Star counterpart. Wembanyama finished with 21 points, 17 rebounds and six blocks on the night, but those are relatively modest numbers for the French big man. From an offensive perspective, Duren logged 25 points (10-for-13 FGs) and 14 rebounds in a performance that showcased the fourth-year center’s abject strength and determination in the paint. On several occasions, Duren elevated to throw down a series of rim-rattling dunks, and he even went airborne to posterize Wemby on one occasion in the hard-fought loss.
