The San Antonio Spurs defeated the New York Knicks 115-111 in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, with Victor Wembanyama playing a pivotal role. During the game, Wembanyama shoved Knicks guard Jalen Brunson in the back of the head, but the NBA opted not to upgrade the incident to a flagrant foul, maintaining Wembanyama’s two flagrant points from earlier in the playoffs. The missed call drew criticism from former players and even local officials, who deemed the shove “dirty.” Both teams will face off again in Game 4 on Wednesday at 8:30 p.m.
