Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with 26 points Friday night, but San Antonio could not keep pace in a 123-108 loss to the Thunder in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals.
The defeat put the Spurs behind 2-1 in the series, shifting pressure back onto San Antonio as it looks to respond after dropping the latest matchup.
Wembanyama Emphasizes Team Play
Despite finishing as the Spurs’ top scorer, Wembanyama acknowledged after the game that his individual production was not enough. He said he needs to be “more of a team player” and focused on making his teammates better following the loss.
The comment reflected a self-critical tone from the Spurs’ centerpiece after a game in which San Antonio was outscored by 15 points and now faces a series deficit against Oklahoma City.
