The San Antonio Spurs were just a few minutes away from having all the momentum in the NBA Finals, but it slipped away. After trailing by as many as 29 points in the second half and even 20 in the fourth quarter in Game 4 on Wednesday, the New York Knicks completed the largest comeback in NBA Finals history to take a 3-1 series lead.
Wembanyama’s Confidence
Victor Wembanyama was asked on Friday if he has a sense of whether the group actually thinks they could win three games in a row to win the NBA title. Wembanyama answered, ‘Yeah, absolutely. Everybody thinks — everybody knows — we’re going to do it.’ The 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers are the only team to complete a comeback after trailing three games to one in the NBA Finals.
Game 5 tips off in San Antonio on Saturday at 8:30 p.m. ET. With a win, the Spurs would force a Game 6 back in New York on Tuesday night, hours after Wembanyama’s home country of France will face Senegal at nearby MetLife Stadium in the World Cup.
