2026 NBA Finals Showdown: Can the Unstoppable Knicks Dethrone the Fearless Spurs?
Maybe the Knicks just remedy this by using Robinson to guard Wembanyama. But he is likely too slow to stay with him on the perimeter. Plus, this creates opportunities to intentionally foul the miserable free-throw shooter (30.2% on free throws this postseason). Given that his injured pinky is on his right hand, it seems unlikely that he’ll pull a Giannis Antetokounmpo in this series.
Key Stats To Monitor
Against the Thunder, the Spurs nabbed 15 more offensive rebounds over the course of their seven-game series. However, the general consensus around this matchup is that the Knicks are a much more physical opponent than the Thunder were thanks to the force of Robinson, Towns, Anunoby and Hart.
