Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle put their names together in the NBA Finals record book. They became the first pair of teammates aged 22 or younger to each score at least 20 points in a Finals game during San Antonio's 115-111 win over New York.
Wembanyama led the Spurs with 32 points in 39 minutes. He shot 11-of-18 from the floor and 8-of-9 at the line, adding eight rebounds, six assists, two steals and three blocks.
Castle followed with 23 points in 38 minutes. The guard made eight of his 14 shots, went 5-of-6 on free throws and finished with five rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block.
Their production gave San Antonio its first win of the series and cut the Knicks' lead to 2-1. It also delivered a Finals first built entirely around two of the Spurs' youngest stars.
