Victor Wembanyama's costly errors sink Spurs in NBA Finals Game 2

The San Antonio Spurs fell 104‑105 to the New York Knicks in Game 2 of the NBA Finals held in San Antonio. After a 14‑0 run that erased a 14‑point deficit, the Spurs briefly led 104‑102, but a turnover by rookie Victor Wembanyama and a missed mid‑range jumper allowed Jalen Brunson to draw a foul and hit a decisive free throw. The Knicks secured a 2‑0 series lead.

Wembanyama finished with 29 points, nine rebounds and four blocks, but his late‑game decisions drew sharp criticism from former players such as Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley, who questioned his leadership and composure. Spurs coach Mitch Johnson and the team will need to respond quickly as the series shifts to Madison Square Garden for Game 3.
