France, June 4 -- The French superstar led San Antonio's scorers with 26 points but had a poor shooting night before ultimately being upstaged by the Knicks' Jalen Brunson.

A relaxed Wembanyama was staying calm after the disappointing opening loss, noting that there was still a long way to go in the best-of-seven series.

"Nothing," Wembanyama replied when asked what aspects of his performance he was kicking himself over. "We've been down in a series before. Never in the Finals, obviously.

"But I'm not kicking myself about anything really. I mean, I'm not worried the slightest."

The 22-year-old is confident San Antonio will bounce back in time for game two in Texas on Friday.
