Knicks fans throw items at Victor Wembanyama, Spurs after NBA Finals thriller
yahoo -

The New York Knicks won Game 4 of the NBA Finals in as thrilling a fashion as you'll ever see. But some fans celebrating the team's 29-point comeback and 3-1 series lead were not on their best behavior.

Per a video posted by NBA content creator "KingCharge" who appeared to be on the scene, the Spurs were greeted by many hostile fans as they returned to their New York hotel. The most vitriol was reserved for Spurs star Victor Wembanyama − and some fans in the crowd beyond the barricades threw unidentified items in his direction.

Wembanyama turned back to look in the direction the items came from, but he was quickly ushered inside by security.

Wembanyama has not made any friends in New York during the Finals after shoving Knicks star Jalen Brunson in Game 3 and escaping what many believe should have been a flagrant foul. Then, he taunted the Knicks in the first half of Game 4 after Knicks center Mitchell Robinson was given a fragrant foul for a forearm to Wembanyama’s chin.

Later in Wednesday's game, Wembanyama was assessed a flagrant foul for throwing an elbow at the throat of Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns. The Spurs star now has three flagrant points in the NBA playoffs. If he gets a fourth, he would be suspended.

The Knicks have the chance to win their first title since 1973 in Game 5, which is Saturday in San Antonio. This series has certainly put both Wembanyama and the actions of Knicks fans in the spotlight.
