Fox Sports 1 analyst Emmanuel Acho saw how things unfolded in the first half of Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals showdown between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs, and shared an intriguing take on Victor Wembanyama.
“Wemby is beating the hell out of the Knicks in the Garden, and he’s doing it more so mentally than physically. An absolutely masterclass of maturation and domination from a 22 year old!” the former Cleveland Browns linebacker Acho said.
Wembanyama led the Spurs to a commanding 27-point lead at the end of the first half. In the first 20 minutes of the contest, the former top overall NBA draft pick racked up 16 points on 6-for-11 shooting from the field with a 3-pointer, six rebounds and assist and two blocks.
The series started off with back-to-back wins by Jalen Brunson and the Knicks on the road at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas, for a 2-0 New York lead.

But what once looked like a one-sided affair has become a tremendous challenge for the Knicks, with Wembanyama leading San Antonio to a 115-111 win at Madison Square Garden in Game 3 on Monday and starting Game 4 on Wednesday like a house on fire.
The Spurs will go as far as where Wembanyama takes them, and that has been the case so far in the NBA Finals. With Wemby playing well of late, San Antonio, the Spurs are able to remind everyone why they were the ones to dethrone Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the Western Conference Finals.
Still, the NBA Finals is far from over.
