Summary
105-95 in Game 1, San Antonio’s NBA Finals loss to New York quickly turned into a test of Victor Wembanyama’s leadership, with teammate Dylan Harper saying the star “never backs down from the moment.”
26 points from Wembanyama were offset by a rough 6-for-21 shooting line, 2-for-9 from three and six turnovers as Karl-Anthony Towns helped pressure him into mistakes.
Wembanyama said he is “not worried” and argued the Spurs only need him to “do the right things,” framing the opener as a self-inflicted performance the team can clean up.
Friday night in San Antonio now becomes the immediate pivot point, with the Spurs returning home for Game 2 trying to level the series behind their young star’s expected response.
