Knicks Stretch Floor, Wear Down Wembanyama in Game‑4 Comeback
The Knicks expanded the court to limit Victor Wembanyama’s impact, forcing a historic Game‑4 comeback that left the Spurs scrambling defensively late minutes. The strategy forced Wembanyama to operate in tighter spaces, reducing his shooting and post moves.
Spurs’ defensive rotations were stretched thin as they tried to contest the widened lanes. Coach Tom Thibodeau praised the floor‑spacing plan as a blueprint for neutralizing elite big men.
The victory energised the Knicks fan base and shifted momentum in the series.
