SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama surely knew he was overstating the obvious Wednesday night, when he pointed out that there are two possible outcomes Saturday in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Option A: The Spurs win at home to extend the best-of-seven series.
Option B: The New York Knicks win and become NBA champions.
That’s it. It’s one or the other.
After 1,321 games — 1,230 in the regular season, 84 in the playoffs, six more in the play-in tournament and one between the Knicks and the Spurs that decided the in-season NBA Cup tournament — it really is that simple.
