Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs have momentum
Wembanyama and the Spurs are fresh off a Game 7 victory that dethroned the Oklahoma City Thunder. Their young core proved that they are not afraid of the moment and will be a problem for the competition for years to come.
The big victory should fuel their Finals run against the veteran New York Knicks team. The Eastern Conference champions are looking to avenge the franchise’s 1999 NBA Finals loss to San Antonio and bring a championship to The Big Apple. However, Wembanyama and Co. are looking to win it all and potentially start a dynasty.
