The Spurs\u2019 phenom made an inexplicable blunder in the final 10 seconds Friday that led to the Knicks\u2019 game-winning free throw in San Antonio\u2019s 105-104 home loss to fall in a 2-0 NBA Finals series hole.<\/p>\n

After Jalen Brunson missed a jumper with roughly 13 seconds remaining, Wembanyama corralled the rebound and attempted to pass to Stephon Castle, but the guard was looking up court.<\/p>\n

The ball bounced off Castle\u2019s back and went right to Brunson, and Wembanyama bumped into the Knicks\u2019 guard for the foul to send him to the free throw line with 9.5 seconds remaining.<\/p>\n

It appeared that Castle expected Wembanyama to dribble up the court or to take his time since the Spurs would likely be holding for the final shot.<\/p>\n

There may have also been confusion about whether the Spurs would use their final timeout.<\/p>\n

Brunson hit one of two free throws to give the Knicks a 105-104 lead before Wembanyama had a chance to redeem himself and be the hero.<\/p>\n

However, he missed a 20-foot jumper over Mitchell Robinson with two seconds remaining and the Spurs are now officially in massive trouble.<\/p>\n

Wembanyama also missed a 16-foot jumper after the Knicks tied the game at 104-104, and he finished 0-for-2 with a turnover in the final minute.<\/p>\n

He finished with 29 points on 11-of-21 shooting, although this final minute will plague him.<\/p>\n

Karl-Anthony Towns also outplayed him for large stretches, particularly in the first half.<\/p>\n

Wembanyama has yet to take over this series as expected despite averaging 27.5 points through the first two games, and with his nightmarish final minute Friday night at Frost Bank Center it\u2019s looking more and more likely that this series will be the one that fuels him for years to come.<\/p>\n
