The Spurs have dug themselves into an 0–2 hole in the NBA Finals after dropping their first two games at home, and whether they can get out of it will likely hinge on one player: Victor Wembanyama.
Wembanyama put up 29 points on 11-of-21 shooting while adding nine rebounds and four blocks during Friday’s nail-biting 105–104 loss in San Antonio, but he also was at the center of two critical plays that ended up costing the Spurs a chance to even the series. The Spurs star committed a costly turnover when the game was tied with roughly 13 seconds remaining, and then he missed what would have been the game-winner right before the buzzer.
