It all comes down to this.
Down 3-2 to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the San Antonio Spurs staved off elimination with a Game 6 victory to force tonight’s winner-take-all Game 7.
The turning point in the eventual 118-91 victory came late in the third quarter when San Antonio unleashed a 20-0 run, holding Oklahoma City scoreless for nearly eight minutes and forcing them into 14 consecutive missed shots. Thunder star and league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was particularly quiet, scoring a playoff low of just 15 points on 6-of-18 shooting.
After facing heavy criticism from his coaching staff for a quiet Game 5, the Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama responded with aggression and led the wire-to-wire blowout with 28 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks.
