The Spurs have no room for error. Head coach Mitch Johnson and his staff need to prepare the team to overcome its shortcomings in Game 4 and play with desperation on Friday. Ginobili is expected to be in attendance and be part of the San Antonio crowd cheering Wembanyama, Castle and Co. San Antonio has to win the next three games to win the championship, including two at Frost Bank Center.
It may seem impossible, but LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers pulled it off in 2016. Different teams, different circumstance, same goal. Wembanyama could etch his name in the history books if he leads his team to glory.
