Wembanyama’s pregame fire powers Spurs into Game 7

Victor Wembanyama delivered a raw, motivating pregame speech before Game 6 and followed it with a 28-point, 28-minute performance to spark San Antonio as they used a 20-0 run to force a Game 7 against the Thunder. Wearing a Thobe for Eid al-Adha, he led by example on offense and defense, while teammates like Luke Kornet and Stephon Castle anchored the defensive plan against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The moment highlighted the Spurs’ growth under playoff pressure and Wembanyama’s willingness to seize high-stakes opportunities.
