Wembanyama, Spurs turn focus to Game 5 after erasing 29-point deficit in NBA Finals loss

SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs fell 107-106 to the New York Knicks in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, squandering a 29-point lead and falling behind 3-1 in the series. The loss came in front of a home crowd and marked the largest deficit erased in a single game in NBA Finals history. The Knicks can claim their first NBA championship since 1973 if they win Game 5 on Saturday in San Antonio. Spurs center Victor Wembanyama said the team has moved past the loss and is now focused on extending the series. "There are thousands of ways we could have not lost that game. We've moved past it," Wembanyama said. The French center said he was unfazed by incidents in New York, where fans threw eggs at him and water bottles at the team bus. He also backed Spurs coach Mitch Johnson, who played the 22-year-old Wembanyama for 44 minutes in the game.
