Overview
- The Spurs defeated the Thunder 103-82 on Sunday to even the Western Conference finals at two games apiece.
- Victor Wembanyama scored 33 points, grabbed eight rebounds, dished five assists and had three blocks while playing 31 minutes.
- San Antonio’s team defense held Oklahoma City to 33 percent shooting and just six three-pointers on 33 attempts, limiting the Thunder to their lowest point total since December 2021.
- Coaches kept Wembanyama on the floor longer as a tactical change to sustain defensive intensity, a minutes-management approach the Spurs say is aimed at preserving him over a long series.
- The win snapped the Thunder’s road playoff unbeaten streak and gives San Antonio’s young roster momentum as they chase a first trip to the NBA Finals since 2014, with Game 5 set for Tuesday in Oklahoma City.
