For the San Antonio Spurs to beat the New York Knicks and get back in the series, Victor Wembanyama had to be at his best. And when called upon, Wembanyama delivered as the Spurs conquered the adversity of the atmosphere of Madison Square Garden on Monday night.

Wembanyama also added eight rebounds, six assists, three blocks and two steals, playing the role of villain to the Knicks fans in attendance at the first NBA Finals game in New York in 27 years. 

The 22-year-old superstar became the second youngest player to ever record at least 30 points, five boards and five assists in an NBA Finals game, only behind Magic Johnson's famous run to winning NBA Finals MVP as a rookie in 1980.
