- Victor Wembanyama bounced back from a quiet Game 5 by recording 28 points, 10 rebounds, three blocks and two steals while attacking early and finishing as the Spurs’ clear catalyst.
- San Antonio opened with eight first-quarter three-pointers and then sealed the game with a 20-0 third-quarter run that held the Thunder to 13 points in that period.
- The Spurs’ bench supplied a major lift as Dylan Harper scored 18 off the bench and Stephon Castle added 17 points and nine assists while San Antonio’s reserves outscored OKC’s 46-38.
- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was limited to 15 points on 6-of-18 shooting and Oklahoma City’s rotation was hampered by injuries and limited secondary scoring, leaving Game 7 to decide who faces the well-rested New York Knicks.
