Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs vowed to recover after surrendering a 29-point lead in a 107-106 NBA Finals loss to the New York Knicks in Game 4. The defeat left San Antonio facing elimination with the series at 3-1.
Wembanyama said the team must regroup mentally after the historic collapse. The Spurs controlled the game for three quarters before New York mounted its comeback in the final period.
San Antonio had appeared poised to even the series before the Knicks’ late surge. The blown lead was among the largest ever given up in an NBA Finals game.
Game 5 offered the Spurs a chance to extend the series, but the psychological toll of the Game 4 meltdown loomed large. Wembanyama’s performance in the next contest would be critical to any San Antonio revival.
