Overview
- The Spurs delivered a 118-91 win in Game 6 on Thursday to even the Western Conference Finals at 3-3 and extend the series to a winner-take-all Game 7.
- Victor Wembanyama led San Antonio in that game with 28 points and 10 rebounds while the Spurs’ defense produced a key 20-0 third-quarter run that pulled the game away.
- Oklahoma City will be without All-Star wing Jalen Williams and reserve guard Ajay Mitchell for Saturday’s Game 7 after Williams was listed out for the game with a left hamstring issue and reporters confirmed Mitchell’s soleus strain.
- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been inefficient across the series, shooting under 38 percent and scoring 15 points in Game 6, which increases pressure on role players like Chet Holmgren, Alex Caruso and Jared McCain to fill the scoring void.
- Game 7 is Saturday night in Oklahoma City with the winner advancing to face the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals and the matchup will be one of the rare Game 7s featuring the league MVP against the Defensive Player of the Year.
