Summary

Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs are down 0-2 in the NBA Finals after a heartbreaking 105-104 loss to the Knicks in Game 2. Despite Wembanyama's strong performance of 29 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 blocks, he was involved in two critical late-game mistakes — a costly turnover with 13 seconds left and a missed potential game-winner. Wembanyama gave a candid postgame interview in his native French, reflecting on the team's mentality and the harsh realities of Finals basketball.

We are a spoiled team. We've had success early, and now we face adversity. It's a hard truth, but we need to grow up.
I take full responsibility for the turnover. In the Finals, every possession matters, and I failed my team in that moment.
This is not the end. We have to go to New York and win one game at a time. That's all we can do.
The Knicks are a veteran team. They know how to win these close games. We are learning that lesson the hard way.
I missed the shot I wanted. I'll live with that. But I won't live with not learning from it.
