LATEST: Victor Wembanyama blames Spurs’ lack of experience after hard-fought loss to Kings

The San Antonio Spurs were about to upset a club that was predicted to win the playoffs. In just over two minutes, they had rallied to take a four-point lead over the Sacramento Kings. From that point on, one team demonstrated why it wants to play in the playoffs for a second consecutive year, while the other was headed for yet another high lottery pick.

Superstar Victor Wembanyama remarked of the 127-122 defeat in the state capital of California, “Their experience showed.” “Our inexperience was also evident. The image is still hazy; I need rewatch the game.

Handling a difficult situation
The Spurs, hoping to begin the post-All-Star break section of their schedule with a victory, suffered their second straight loss, going all the way back to a 116-93 loss at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks on February 14.

When asked how he handles difficult defeats, Wembanyama said, “I have no choice,” before making a reference to the Los Angeles Lakers game on Friday night. “We have another one tomorrow,” he added. It’s not meant to be simple. We also enjoy the difficulty and exertion involved. That’s how the game works.

In response to the question of whether a defeat in which his side had a late lead is harder than others, the generational potential said, “Yeah, of course.” “What may have been. Guys—even little ones—take losses very seriously. Since we were little, it has been a component of the game.

Even though the first overall choice from the previous year’s draft performed admirably on Thursday night, Sacramento’s Domantas Sabonis outperformed him with 19 points, 13 rebounds, 5 blocks, 5 steals, and 4 assists. With an average of 20.2 points, 13.2 rebounds, and 8.4 assists this season, the 27-year-old forward almost always gets a triple-double. Against the Spurs, he got a triple-double with 22 points, 11 assists, and 11 rebounds.

“Averages nearly a triple double. Regarding the former Gonzaga star, Wemby remarked, “It’s huge.” “All things considered, I think the Kings idea is fantastic. I used to take them on 2K every time. They have a pretty strong and well-rounded team, and he fits right in, so I believe they have a promising project.

Then the 7-foot-4 French wonder went one better, complimenting his 6-foot-10 opponent.

“Maybe—well, yeah. When asked if he watches players like Sabonis, Wembanyama replied, “I like to take what I can from everyone.”

“I’ve also been watching the Kings play.” Yes, without a doubt, I will learn a few things from this person.
