Spurs end Knicks' 13-game playoff win streak behind Wembanyama's 32 points

Anyone watching this NBA Finals series could have seen this coming for Victor Wembanyama.

Knicks center Mitchell Robinson, playing with one healthy hand, delivered a forearm to Wembanyama's face in Game 4 that drew a Flagrant 1 foul.

The young star learned nothing comes easy at Madison Square Garden. Wembanyama has had his own share of questionable moments this postseason.

After the forearm, Wembanyama appeared to taunt Robinson by saying he was in his head.

Robinson saw extended action early after Karl-Anthony Towns picked up two first-quarter fouls. That early whistle put the Knicks fan favorite on a collision course with the French forward.

Robinson was not the only Knick who seemed fed up with Wembanyama. Jose Alvarado also got physical in Game 4, grabbing one of Wembanyama's legs during a hard foul.

The hostile Garden crowd has embraced Wembanyama as Public Enemy No. 1, booing him throughout the series.

The bad blood had already been brewing before Game 4. In Game 3, Wembanyama pushed Jalen Brunson to the floor without drawing a foul. The play sparked outrage inside the arena and across social media. An NBA review found that Wembanyama did not commit a flagrant foul, but that ruling did little to change opinions in New York.

The Spurs star might have had a point as San Antonio took a 76-49 lead into halftime.
