It was a rough first half for Victor Wembanyama<\/a> on Friday night.<\/p>\n

The San Antonio Spurs’<\/a> alien-like phenom scored just seven points in the first 24 minutes of Game 2 of the NBA Finals, and despite making up ground in the second half, it was not enough as the New York Knicks took a 2-0 series lead.<\/p>\n

The referees sure seemed tilted toward San Antonio throughout the night, and one moment in the second quarter helped the public’s case.<\/p>\n

With San Antonio up 37-32, Dylan Harper drove toward the hoop but missed a contested shot, and the ball was up for grabs. With Wembanyama, listed at 7-foot-4, on the floor, it should surprise nobody if he ever got an offensive rebound.<\/p>\n

However, he was boxed out by Knicks guard Jose Alvarado, whose minutes come sparingly.<\/p>\n

Alvarado might have gotten away with some hard contact when initiating the box out, but Wembanyama may have just gotten away with a flagrant foul after wrapping both of his arms near Alvarado’s neck and tossing him like a rag doll. Wembanyama then asked for a whistle on Alvarado but never got one.<\/p>\n

Wembanyama was also ejected for the first time for a flagrant foul in the Western Conference Finals.<\/p>\n

Wembanyama scored 22 points in the second half, turning it up in the fourth quarter, but it was all for naught after a costly turnover. After a rebound with less than 15 seconds left, Wembanyama threw a pass to a teammate who was not looking, and it hit his back. Jalen Brunson was able to pick up the ball, draw a foul and knock down a free throw.<\/p>\n

The Frenchman had the ball in his hands for the potential game-winning basket but missed, giving the Knicks an exhilarating 105-104 victory.<\/p>\n

No team has ever won an NBA Finals after losing both of the first two games at home, although it is a small sample size – only the 1993 Phoenix Suns<\/a> and 1995 Orlando Magic did the same.<\/p>\n
