Victor Wembanyama reveals the crushing Game 4 loss will only make the Spurs stronger

After the first half of Game 4, the San Antonio Spurs were supposed to cruise to a tied series at 2-2. Unfortunately, they had one of the biggest collapses in NBA history, as they blew a 29-point lead and lost to the New York Knicks.

This is a crushing blow for the Spurs, as they are now one game away from losing the Finals. It is a significant result for both teams, and it will be extremely difficult to bounce back from such a result.

Victor Wembanyama reveals how the Spurs will react after Game 4 collapse

As the superstar player for the Spurs, Wembanyama knows he has to take accountability for the loss. After a strong first half, he fell off a cliff with his performance level. He was confident in the first half, but it seemed to wane in the second.

Much was the same for his teammates, as they kept shooting three-pointers. The shooting dried up after a historic first half, and the Spurs have no one to blame but themselves for the loss.

This is one of the worst results of the season for the young Spurs team, and it came at a crucial moment. They have no choice but to move forward and learn from this, and Wembanyama knows it as their leader.

"I think it's just execution, greediness of some sort, we were clearly not the most hungry in the second half. What's going through my mind right now is gonna go one of two ways. A bad one and a good one," Wembanyama said after the Game 4 collapse.

"The bad one would be giving up, the good one would be getting stronger through this... It's as simple as that; it just hurts."

Wembanyama and the Spurs head back to San Antonio with a 3-1 deficit. While a comeback is possible, it has only been done once in the NBA Finals, which was 10 years ago. Their backs are against the wall even more right now, and he will need to be the catalyst for a magical comeback.
