Following Game 1, Nacho García of Marca suggested that this may not yet be Victor Wembanyama’s moment to win an NBA championship, or at least that he will need to fight much harder after the home defeat. The Knicks’ message, however, is clear: they are not willing to let this opportunity slip away. They showed resilience by overcoming a 14-point deficit and carrying momentum built from 12 straight wins, taking control of the series early.
