Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama blames inexperience after Game 2 loss
Victor Wembanyama said the San Antonio Spurs' youth and lack of experience contributed to their 105-104 defeat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, calling the team "spoiled" in a post‑game interview.
San Antonio fell behind 0-2 in the NBA Finals after a 105-104 loss to New York on Friday. Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with 29 points, nine rebounds and four blocks, but a turnover with 13 seconds left and a missed potential game‑winner contributed to the defeat. In the post‑game press conference, Wembanyama said the team's youth and inexperience were key factors, noting that veteran squads such as the Knicks understand the rarity of a Finals appearance. He added, > "We’re like spoiled kids. Some of us are in our first season and we’re already in the Finals. The team that appreciates the position we’re in the most will be the one that wins." The Spurs, whose rotation averages 24.4 years, face a Knicks lineup with an average age of 28.8. The series shifts to Madison Square Garden for Game 3 on Monday, with the Knicks holding a chance to sweep the series.
