In Game 4, Knicks player Mitchell Robinson, despite playing with one healthy hand, delivered a forearm to Wembanyama’s face. This move resulted in a Flagrant 1 foul, teaching the young star that nothing is easy at Madison Square Garden. Wembanyama has experienced his own set of challenges this postseason.
The Spurs ended the Knicks’ 13-game playoff win streak with a Game 3 victory, thanks to Wembanyama’s impressive 32 points. Throughout Game 4, Wembanyama and Robinson clashed at the Garden. Fans witnessed Robinson stepping up early after Karl-Anthony Towns encountered foul trouble, directly engaging with Wembanyama.
