SAN ANTONIO \u2014 The Knicks didn\u2019t win Game 2. Victor Wembanyama lost it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s OK. That\u2019s also how championships are won. A historic streak doesn\u2019t always require excellence from the winner. It sometimes unfolds because of blunders from the opposition, and Wembanyama, \u201cThe \u201cAlien\u201d who is trying to stake his claim as the next face of the league, offered enough to give New York a 105-104 win Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still very blurry,\u201d Wembanyama acknowledged. \u201cThat\u2019s the whole problem. I need to have more poise, more control over the game.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

With 33 seconds left in a tie game, Wembanyama received an inbounds pass near the corner. Mitchell Robinson, the only Knick who can come close to matching Wemby\u2019s 7-foot-4 frame, guarded him tightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
