Summary
94-90 in Game 5 ended San Antonio's season, and Victor Wembanyama called the loss a major learning moment after the Knicks closed out the NBA Finals 4-1.
Three of the Spurs' four series losses came after they led inside the final two minutes, while Game 5 was tied in the last two minutes before New York finished stronger.
Wembanyama said the team must become more consistent late in games after a breakthrough year in which San Antonio won 62 games and captured the Western Conference title.
100 games into the season — 82 regular-season and 18 playoff contests — the Spurs fell short of a sixth championship, but Wembanyama's third-place MVP finish underscored their rise.
