Victor Wembanyama knows he needs to be better.
In Game 1 of the NBA Finals, Wembanyama was stifled by Karl-Anthony Towns and the Knicks’ defense and shot 6-of-21 from the field in the Spurs’ 105–95 loss. He was much better in Game 2, scoring 22 of his 29 points in the second half, but a costly turnover in the final minute allowed New York to escape with a 105–104 win and head back to Madison Square Garden with a 2–0 series lead.
