The San Antonio Spurs are facing heightened urgency after Victor Wembanyama was held to 20 points in Tuesday night’s loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
With San Antonio now needing a win in Game 6 to avoid elimination, coach Mitch Johnson acknowledged the importance of getting Wembanyama going offensively.
“We’re going to need to,” Johnson said when asked about finding ways to get Wembanyama more involved.
San Antonio Looks for Response
Wembanyama has been central to the Spurs’ postseason push, and his production remains a key factor as the series continues. Tuesday’s result has put San Antonio in a must-win position, adding pressure on the Spurs to improve their offensive execution around their franchise centerpiece.
Game 6 will determine whether the Spurs can extend the series or see their season come to an end against Oklahoma City.
