Victor Wembanyama is ready to turn the page. After a dramatic Game 4 ejection that had everyone talking, the Spurs' superstar is asking fans and critics alike to shift their focus back to what truly matters: the series.

Let's rewind: In Game 4, Wembanyama was ejected after catching Naz Reid with an elbow to the neck. The moment sparked endless debate, but the French phenom isn't interested in re-litigating it. Instead, he let his Game 5 performance do the talking—and what a statement it was.

Wembanyama delivered a masterclass in Game 5, stuffing the stat sheet with 27 points, 17 rebounds, five assists, and three blocks. He was dominant on both ends of the floor, showing exactly why he's the engine of this Spurs machine. More importantly, he kept his cool—a stark contrast to the frustration that boiled over in the previous game.

"It was two games ago, it's the Playoffs. I was focused on the game today, and now I'm focused on the game in two days," Wembanyama said after the win. "It's the Playoffs, we've got to move on. I got to care for my team."

He also acknowledged the Timberwolves' strategy of trying to get under his skin. "I feel like the rage-baiting would be one of the strategies. We just had to stay composed as a team." And stay composed they did, taking a crucial 3-2 series lead back to the court.

For Wembanyama, the message is clear: the elbow is old news. The Playoffs are about winning, not dwelling on a single moment. As he puts it, it's time to keep moving forward—and with performances like Game 5, the Spurs are doing just that.
