Victor Wembanyama has been brutally honest about who was to blame for Spurs’ 25-point loss to the Knicks
Victor Vembanyama and the The Spurs have been at their peak this season. They are firmly entrenched in the Western Conference playoff race, sitting as the second seed in the conference, and within striking distance of the Oklahoma City Thunder for the top seed. But the Knicks were able to figure out how to cool off a red-hot San Antonio team.
It looks like teams will choose to go physical with them Vembanjama to throw him out of the gameas the Pistons tried to show, despite last Monday’s loss. This time around, the Knicks seem to have cracked the winning formula with their aggressive defensive coverage, and Vembanjame recognized it. in the comments after the game won by Hector Ledesma.
“I think they did put in a little bit of physicality, but not even the most that we’ve seen… For some reason, we hesitated a little bit… I was hesitant especially on threes… I held the ball too much… We gave them life. We should have been better, especially in the first quarter. That was the game.”
Vembanjama made it clear that the Knicks’ game plan was affecting them and that it was something he was aware of.
“They’re a good basketball team, but they’re not, like, the ugliest team. They’re not an ugly team to watch, but they made our game ugly.”
However, Vembanyama does not feel that the team is regressing.
“I don’t see any setback. I think it’s good for us to see this kind of adversity. We want to play the best teams. This is the best playoff team – experience. They know what it’s like, and they gave us a good result today.”
