This is a sentence I never thought I'd write (and may never write again), but it's true about this Western Conference Finals: The team with Victor Wembanyama is not the one forcing the most adjustments. At least not heading into a critical Game 4 at home for San Antonio. Mathematically, Game 4 is not "must win" for the Spurs, already in these playoffs we have seen two teams come from 3-1 down to win a series.
Realistically, that is not going to happen against Oklahoma City. Victor Wembanyama understands that. "We're going to see what we're made of," he said after a Game 3 loss at home where he and the Spurs raced out to a 15-0 lead at the start but ended up losing by 15 when the final buzzer sounded.
Here are three things to look for in Game 4, which will take place at 8 p. m. ET Sunday in San Antonio, a showdown you can watch on NBC or stream on Peacock.
