Victor Wembanyama, the 22-year-old star of the San Antonio Spurs, openly acknowledged a crucial mistake that contributed to his team's 105-104 loss against the New York Knicks in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. After a hard-fought game, Wembanyama's ill-timed pass led to a steal by Jalen Brunson, who subsequently helped secure the Knicks' victory. Reflecting on the game, Wembanyama stated, "I threw that one away. I messed up. We needed to win that game. This game was ours." Despite posting impressive stats with 29 points, nine rebounds, and four blocks, his late turnover proved costly. The Spurs now find themselves in a challenging position, trailing 0-2 in the series, as history shows that no team has ever won the championship after losing the first two Finals games at home.
