2026 NBA Finals Shocker: Can the Spurs Defy All Odds and Rewrite History?

As for adjustments by the Spurs, the biggest tactical shift was how they defended Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns. Across both Game 1 and 2, 12 of Towns’ 27 field goal attempts (44.4%) were defended by Victor Wembanyama (per NBA.com). In Game 3, only one of his 10 shots was defended by this season’s NBA Defensive Player of the Year.

The Spurs did whatever they could to keep Wembanyama from defending Towns to avoid freeing up the paint and allowing the All-NBA big to blow by him off the dribble. As a result, Towns was held to just 11 points in 38 minutes (his second-lowest point total of the postseason).
