A late turnover by Wabanjama led to a narrow Spurs loss to the Knicks, who are now down 0-2.

June 6th - According to the Associated Press, Game 2 of the NBA Finals continued in San Antonio. The New York Knicks narrowly defeated the San Antonio Spurs 105-104 on the road, extending their series lead to 2-0.

 

The Spurs trailed by as many as 14 points in the fourth quarter , but rallied with a 14-0 run to tie the game and then took the lead with one minute remaining thanks to Wimbledon. However, the final 14 seconds proved to be the turning point. Brunson missed a shot under Wimbledon's defense, Wimbledon grabbed the rebound and attempted to initiate an attack, but committed a turnover, allowing Brunson to regain possession and draw a foul.

 

I need to be calmer and control the game, Wenbanyama admitted after the match . That was my mistake. Castle said there was a communication problem: I thought he was going to advance, so I prepared to create space, but I didn’t see him pass the ball directly.

 

I messed up, he said. This was our own game, and we should have won. But it’s over now. Do I regret it? Of course. But I will channel these emotions into motivation for the next game.

 

Meanwhile, although Wambano is still the leading scorer in the Finals with 27.5 points per game, his shooting efficiency is inconsistent, with a field goal percentage of only 41% and a three-point percentage of 27% .

 

We haven’t been up to par in the last two games, Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson said. But the series isn’t over yet. If we can find our rhythm, we still have a chance.
