Victor Wembanyama was met with hostile, profanity-laced chants from Knicks fans outside his Manhattan hotel and inside Madison Square Garden during Game 3 of the NBA Finals, with New York leading the series 2-0. Crowds repeatedly taunted Wembanyama by his nickname while he poured in 32 points, marking the youngest 30-point Finals performance in 46 years. Wembanyama also shoved a Knicks guard to the floor without an assessed foul, an incident that could intensify home-court tension and officiating scrutiny for the remainder of the series.
