San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama believes that he is built for tense situations, much like the one his side currently finds themselves in as they prepare to do battle against the New York Knicks in Game three at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday.
The Spurs are fighting a 2-0 deficit in the series following a 105-104 loss in Game two at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio on Saturday.
However, in assessing the Spurs' predicament, Wembanyama noted that he soaks up the pressure by accepting realities and taking the results in his stride.

In a bold statement, Wembanyama expressed that he is made for the high pressure moments in the NBA.
"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.
"Just being OK with who I am, where I am, what I'm doing. This is everything that I wished for.
“There's really no reason to overthink it. This is what I'm built for."
