Victor Wembanyama struggles as Knicks take 2‑0 NBA Finals lead

San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama said he feels “blurry” and lacks poise after the team fell behind 2‑0 to the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals. He admitted his game has been “discombobulated” and that he needs more control.

The Knicks have targeted Wembanyama with aggressive defense, using Karl‑Anthony Towns to force him away from the rim. Analysts noted a 61 percent blow‑by rate for Wembanyama, far above the league average of 40‑50 percent, allowing Knicks ball‑handlers clear paths to the basket. The Spurs must improve defensively or adjust their scheme to avoid falling further behind in the series.
