Overview
- The Spurs, which beat the Thunder 118-91 on Thursday, evened the Western Conference Finals at 3-3 and sent the series to a decisive Game 7 at the Paycom Center.
- Victor Wembanyama paced San Antonio with 28 points and 10 rebounds and helped spark a 20-0 third-quarter run that turned a close game into a rout.
- Oklahoma City enters Game 7 without Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell, both ruled out, leaving Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren to carry a thinner Thunder rotation.
- San Antonio’s guards — Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper and Devin Vassell — supplied vital scoring, ball movement and three-point accuracy that amplified the Spurs’ bench edge in Game 6.
- The winner advances to face the New York Knicks starting June 3 and the deciding game will likely turn on turnover control, rebounding against Wembanyama and whether Shai Gilgeous-Alexander can regain efficient scoring.
