Wemby’s triple double clinch the series!!!  Nevada are RBA Champions!!!

Victor Wembanyama came back from missing Games Three and Four like a man possessed.  His tri0e double was the key factor is the Gambler’s complete dominance in Game Five.  Nevada wins by forty points, 127-87, and are RBA Champions for the second year in a row.  Nevada led 64-33 at halftime and never looked back.  Wemby (who easily wins his second consecutive Playoff MVP award) had 36 points on 17-26 shooting.  He also had ten boards, ten assists, and four blocks.  With Jalen Williams out, O.G. Anunoby stepped into the role of wingman.  He had 27 points while shooting 13-16!!!

     Luthadel struggled out of the gate, and never really had a chance in this game.  Nikola Jokic did have a decent showing.  He had 28 points, with ten rebounds, six assists, and four steals.  No other Allomancers even reached 14 points.
