The Western Conference Finals will reach Game 7 on Thursday night, with the San Antonio Spurs defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder 118-91 in Game 6.
Game 7 returns to Oklahoma City, where the winner will face the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals after New York defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals.
With their backs against the wall, Spurs did what needed to be done on home soil and beyond. And their phenomenon, Victor Wembanyama, pioneered this.

The 2.80 tall big man led the Spurs with a double-double with 28 points on 10/21 shooting, 4 three-pointers and 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks.
This was the performance head coach Mitch Johnson and the rest of the team needed from Wembanyama, and he was up for the challenge as the Thunder looked to make back-to-back NBA Finals appearances.
Instead, the Thunder’s three-point shooting woes returned in San Antonio, just as they did in Game 4 of this series. They made 40 three-pointers but converted only 10 of them and completed 25% of the night from beyond the arc.

As a team, the Thunder shot just 37%, and MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is among the culprits for the poor shooting night. He scored just 15 points on 6/18 from the field and 0/5 from three-point range. Lu Dort was also cold as ice from three, going just 1-for-9 and 2-for-11 in the game.
San Antonio, meanwhile, was getting more than just “Wemby” contributions, especially from rookie Dylan Harper, who played a vital role in the explosion off the bench.

Harper was highly effective with the ball in his hands, scoring 18 points on 6-of-9 shooting and recording six rebounds and four assists in a crucial 22 minutes off the bench.
Starter Stephon Castle was driving to the basket as he should be, scoring 17 points and dishing out nine assists for the Spurs. Devin Vassell also made four of his seven three-pointers for 12 points, while Julian Champagnie scored another 10 points and had six rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks.
Spurs saw 12 different players contribute to the scoreboard in this competition; Some of them entered the game with the Thunder agreeing and are already focusing on Game 7. And that move came in the third quarter as the Spurs outscored the Thunder 32-13 and ran away with a must-win game for their team.
