The hardest part is yet to come.

Speaking after the game at Madison Square Garden, Wembanyama stressed that the win, which narrowed the Knicks' series lead to 2-1, "changes nothing" in terms of the team's established confidence. "We always had confidence, we did what we had to do, but the job is not done, not by a long shot," he stated.

Wembanyama was instrumental in the Spurs' victory, recording 32 points, eight rebounds, six assists, and three blocks. Reflecting on the game, he identified key improvements that led to the win. "Fewer errors, we had more control," he said, adding, "It's small things, we were more serious, made fewer mistakes, fewer turnovers, that's it."
