Victor Wembanyama recorded 26 points and 12 rebounds in Game 1 of the 2026 NBA Finals, but his overall shooting efficiency drew criticism despite the strong statistical output. The San Antonio Spurs fell to the New York Knicks 105-95, with analysts and fans questioning Wembanyama's decision-making and shot selection throughout the game.
Although Wembanyama reached a double-double and showed moments of dominance, his poor shooting night overshadowed the individual effort. The performance sparked debate across NBA circles, with some labeling it among the most inefficient in Finals history given the stakes and outcome.
The Spurs will look to adjust ahead of Game 2, while Wembanyama faces increased scrutiny as the series progresses.
