Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama breaks down Game 3 adjustments to AJ Dybantsa

The San Antonio Spurs found their NBA Finals response Monday night, and superstar Victor Wembanyama later gave BYU standout AJ Dybantsa a window into how they adjusted. After dropping the first two games, the Spurs answered with a 115-111 win over the New York Knicks in Game 3 at Madison Square Garden.

Wembanyama’s explanation centered on depth, trust, and offensive balance. The French phenom controlled the night with 32 points, eight rebounds, and six assists, but the Spurs needed more than one outstanding performance to climb back into the series.

The NBA posted the exchange Tuesday on X, formerly Twitter, showing the highly regarded 19-year-old NBA prospect asking Wembanyama what changed after the Spurs fell into a 2-0 deficit. The moment carried added weight because Dybantsa is projected as the No. 1 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, giving the conversation the feel of a direct lesson from one young franchise centerpiece to another potential one.

San Antonio’s Game 3 adjustments went beyond tactics. The Spurs leaned into an identity that made several players dangerous, allowing Stephon Castle, De’Aaron Fox, and Dylan Harper to punish the defensive attention New York sent toward Wembanyama.

The offensive balance helped the Spurs withstand late pressure and reminded the Knicks that one matchup does not define the series. Castle’s scoring, Fox’s late shot-making, and Harper’s activity gave San Antonio enough support to close out a difficult road win.

For Dybantsa, the exchange offered more than a viral media moment. It showed how a young team handled pressure on the biggest stage in the sport. For Wembanyama, the message was clear. The Spurs did not win Game 3 by changing the team’s identity. It won by trusting more in what makes it difficult to guard against.
