Victor Wembanyama confident he can help Spurs stage NBA finals comeback: ‘This is what I’m built for’

• San Antonio 2-0 down in best-of-seven series

• Game 3 is on Monday night at Madison Square

Victor Wembanyama’s dream run in his first NBA playoffs has taken a nightmarish turn, but the San Antonio Spurs star says he is embracing the setbacks as well as the success.

“I think the key is acceptance a lot of times, taking a step back, realizing all the journey that’s behind this and what’s ahead of this,” Wembanyama said on Sunday as the Spurs prepared for a crucial Game 3 of the NBA finals in what promises to be a hostile Madison Square Garden.
