Watch: Victor Wembanyama puts the 'no' in OG Anunoby

Everyone has seen rookie Victor Wembanyama's defensive highlights. The French teenager still surprised OG Anunoby. Twice.

First Wembanyama stunned Anunoby by extending to block his three-point attempt from the corner.  

Then Wemby stuffed Anunoby without even jumping when he decided to drive on the big man, one of Wembanyama's five blocks.

Despite the block party, Anunoby got revenge on Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs. After Dennis Schroder missed a three-pointer with seven seconds left, the Spurs' Cedi Osman accidentally knocked the rebound out of Wembanyama's hands. 

Anunoby grabbed the loose ball and tied it 110-110, sending the game to overtime.

The 6-foot-7 Anunoby drew the defensive assingment on the 7-foot-4 Wembanyama and did a fairly good job denying the rookie the ball, holding him to 20 points on 7-for-16 shooting. 

Anunoby also made seven threes, the last one giving Toronto a 118-112 lead in overtime, on their way to a 123-115 comeback win.

Wembanyama may have rejected Anunoby, but he couldn't stuff the Raptors' comeback.
