The crucial moment has arrived.
After a narrow 3-2 defeat against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the San Antonio Spurs managed to stave off elimination with a decisive win in Game 6, setting the stage for a do-or-die Game 7 tonight.
The game took a significant turn late in the third quarter, with the Spurs launching a 20-0 run. This stretch was impressive, as they held the Thunder scoreless for nearly eight minutes and forced a daunting 14 missed shots in a row. Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had an off night, scoring only 15 points with a shooting percentage of 6-of-18, which is notably low for him during the playoffs.
San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama, who faced criticism for his performance in Game 5, came back strong, notching up 28 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 blocks in a commanding display.
As the teams prepare for the final showdown of the Western Conference Finals back in Oklahoma City, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
The winner will face off against the New York Knicks in the 2026 NBA Finals, with Game 1 set for Wednesday, June 3rd at 8:30 PM ET.
