Trailing by two games, but still confident of a comeback, Wambanyama admitted there was no time for regrets.

After suffering a humiliating 29-point comeback defeat in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, the San Antonio Spurs trail the New York Knicks 1-3 in the series.

Facing a do-or-die game on Saturday, star player Victor Wimbledonyama gave an interview after Friday's practice, stating that the team has shaken off the shadow of what was arguably the biggest single-game collapse in NBA Finals history.

Speaking about the Game 4 loss, Wenbanyama said frankly, "We had a thousand ways to not lose that game. There was a period of time when I needed to process it and really immerse myself in it, but that's no longer the case. We've moved on. This is the playoffs; there's no time to dwell on regrets."

Besides the on-court loss, Wabbenyama also faced treatment from extremist fans in New York, with eggs thrown at him and water bottles thrown at the Spurs' team bus. In response, Wabbenyama said, "I didn't really take it to heart. It was obviously not nice, but it didn't bother me."

In the last match, Wenbanyama played for 44 minutes, and head coach Mitch Johnson subsequently expressed concern about his stamina. Johnson explained at the time: "I have to make sure I can help him have the energy he needs to finish the game as strongly as he needs."

However, Wenbanyama himself firmly believes that fatigue will not affect the upcoming decisive battle. He emphasized, "This is the playoffs, everyone is equally tired. It shouldn't even be a factor in the game, it won't be a factor." He then added that the players are now at a stage where they can truly give their all.
