Victor Wembanyama's Game 1 dig just tossed even more fuel on the Knicks' fire

Game 1 of the 2026 NBA Finals concluded with the New York Knicks defeating the San Antonio Spurs 105-95 on the road, extending New York’s playoff winning streak to 12 games. The Spurs face a difficult path as the series shifts to Madison Square Garden for Game 2. Victor Wembanyama finished with 26 points on 6-for-21 shooting and 2-for-9 from three, signaling confidence after a defeat. He downplayed the need for dramatic adjustments, saying, ‘it’s almost like I have to play normal, not even good.’ The Knicks benefited from a strong fourth quarter by Jalen Brunson and remain the team to beat in this matchup, while San Antonio must tighten defense and shooting to avoid going down 0-2.
