It was a rough first half for Victor Wembanyama on Friday night.

The San Antonio Spurs' alien-like phenom scored just seven points in the first 24 minutes of Game 2 of the NBA Finals, and despite making up ground in the second half, it was not enough as the New York Knicks took a 2-0 series lead.

The referees sure seemed tilted toward San Antonio throughout the night, and one moment in the second quarter helped the public's case.

With San Antonio up 37-32, Dylan Harper drove toward the hoop but missed a contested shot, and the ball was up for grabs. With Wembanyama, listed at 7-foot-4, on the floor, it should surprise nobody if he ever got an offensive rebound.

However, he was boxed out by Knicks guard Jose Alvarado, whose minutes come sparingly.

Alvarado might have gotten away with some hard contact when initiating the box out, but Wembanyama may have just gotten away with a flagrant foul after wrapping both of his arms near Alvarado's neck and tossing him like a rag doll. Wembanyama then asked for a whistle on Alvarado but never got one.

Wembanyama was also ejected for the first time for a flagrant foul in the Western Conference Finals.
