Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs let another Finals game slip from their fingers against the Knicks, and this time it lost them the championship. After blowing yet another lead in Game 5’s loss, the Spurs had to watch New York celebrate their NBA title on their home court in San Antonio as the Knicks clinched a 94-90 victory and won its first chip in 53 years.
Wembanyama didn’t stick around long, as he notably left the court and walked straight into the players’ tunnel without shaking any hands.
