By NEW YORK — Victor Wembanyama likens home-court advantage to having six players on the court against five. On the road, it is like five on six.
Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs thrived in Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden and are undaunted by the hostile environment and the series deficit they face against the New York Knicks.
“I like lively crowds, active crowds,” Wembanyama said Tuesday, roughly 13 hours after his 32-point, eight-rebound, six-assist dominance to pick up his first career win in the finals. “At home, it’s an extra motivation because you want to give the people who support you a good show. On the road, you want to do the opposite.”
