Wembanyama Drops 32 Points, Jokes He Is No Trae Young-Level MSG Villain

Summary
Victor Wembanyama scored 32 points with eight rebounds, six assists, two steals and three blocks as San Antonio beat New York in Game 3 to cut the series deficit to 2-1.
After the win, Wembanyama joked that Knicks fans may dislike him but said he is "nowhere near Trae Young level" as a Madison Square Garden villain.
Young earned that reputation in 2021, averaging 29.2 points and 9.8 assists while leading Atlanta past New York in five games, and he still draws hostility from Knicks fans.
Game 4 on Thursday could deepen Wembanyama's standing in New York if the Spurs win again and level the series.
