Sharjah 24 – AFP: Victor Wembanyama scored 32 points and grabbed eight rebounds to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 115-111 victory over the New York Knicks on Monday, cutting the deficit to 2-1 in the NBA Finals series.

Mental refresh mentions escape in art

Before the game, the French star shared that he managed the immense pressure of the Finals by spending time in a park sketching a statue. He noted that utilising art to relax helped clear his mind amid the unrelenting intensity of the championship playoffs.

Preparation and approach key to road victory

Wembanyama credited a balanced mix of meticulous mental preparation and elite physical conditioning for his dominant performance. Meanwhile, Spurs coach Mitch Johnson highly praised his aggressive approach and profound overall impact on the game.

Frustration mounts for the knicks ahead of Game 4

On the other side, Knicks coach Mike Brown questioned several officiating decisions from the contest. However, star Karl-Anthony Towns pointed inward, stating that excessive turnovers and poor execution were the real reasons behind the defeat. The high-stakes series will continue in New York with Game 4 on Wednesday.
