Viktor Wembanyama scored 32 points to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 115–111 victory over the New York Knicks in Game 3 of the NBA Finals (the North American professional basketball championship, decided in a best-of-seven series), trimming the Knicks' series lead to 2–1. The French centre also contributed eight rebounds, six assists, three blocks and two steals, telling reporters afterwards that the team had achieved its goal for the night but that the hardest work still lay ahead. Game 4 takes place on Wednesday in New York, where the Knicks — who last reached the Finals in 1999, also against San Antonio — are chasing their first title since 1973.
