Wembanyama incurred the ire of Knicks fans during the game as he taunted Mitchell Robinson, with the latter getting a flagrant foul after thrusting a forearm on the Frenchman’s neck.
The thrilling series will return to San Antonio with the Knicks one win away from clinching the championship after 53 years.
The Spurs and Wembanyama will need to play the game of their lives to have a chance of fighting back from the 3-1 deficit at Frost Bank Center on Saturday.
