The San Antonio Spurs suffered their second loss of the season on Wednesday night with a tight and tough 118-116 defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Spurs started the season in an electric, historic way, but they have had a few offensive issues lately.
Following Wednesday’s game, Victor Wembanyama spoke with the press and said he and his team aren’t too worried about their recent offensive struggles.
“There’s no worry, really. It’s just trying to figure out what’s best. It feels like the game is going fast. As we’ve gotten better as a team, it feels like the opponents have stepped up in some ways defensively. We’re going to catch up to it, of course,” Wembanyama said.

During Wednesday’s game, Wembanyama posted 19 points, eight rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block.
Those aren’t bad numbers, but they aren’t as strong as what he was putting up just a week ago.
On top of that, Wembanyama fouled out of the game against LA and also committed five turnovers.
He is still one of the brightest stars in the league and a true contender for MVP this year, but Wembanyama and his team have hit a few bumps in the road over the last week.
The better they have done, the more they have been targeted, and opposing teams have made stopping Wembanyama their one and only goal, almost like a badge of honor.
In a sense, all of the praise and attention the Spurs have received is working against them.
Wembanyama is still quite optimistic about his team, and he should be.
A rough game here and there doesn’t spell certain doom, and this team has shown they shouldn’t be counted out, especially when he is healthy.
