Beyond the turnovers, Wembanyama struggled to score the basket as he converted just six of 21 field goal attempts in 38 minutes.
He also scored just two of nine three point shot attempts in the loss but stated to reporters after the game that he wasn’t bothered by his struggles.
“Every team guards differently. I’m going to figure it out. I was bad tonight. It’s not more complicated than that.”
“They know how to play with momentum. We had the momentum until late in that game. Victor Wembanyama “not worried” after struggling Game One of NBA Finals.”
“It’s almost like I have to play normal, not even good [in Game 2]. When we play bad, when I play bad, is when we shoot ourselves in the foot. This is why I’m not worried. We’re going to be so much better. I’m going to be so much better” Wembanyama said.
