Wembanyama says Spurs believe they can rally from 3-1 down
San Antonio is trailing 3-1 in the NBA Finals after blowing a 29-point lead against New York, and will host Game 5 in a matchup that could clinch the Knicks' first title since 1973. The Spurs face elimination at home, with Game 5 set for Thursday and a possible Game 7 to follow if needed.
Victor Wembanyama, who struggled in Game 4, said the team has not lost confidence. “Everyone knows we’ll come back from 3-1,” he said. “We know we’ll do it.” He added that the Spurs must ignore the previous game and focus on each contest separately, warning that dwelling on what happened last time would be a mistake.
The article noted that only one NBA team has ever reversed a 3-1 deficit in the Finals, Cleveland in 2016, and that comeback came without home-court advantage. It also pointed to Detroit’s 3-1 turnaround against Orlando in this year’s first round as another example of a team recovering from such a hole.
