The Western Conference Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs is shaping up to be a classic.
After the Thunder won two straight games to take a 2-1 lead, the Spurs responded with a blowout win in Game 4 to tie the series at two game a piece. Victor Wembanyama had a staggering 33 points, the only player to score over 20 point in the game, ensuring that San Antonio made this series a best-of-three.
Now, the series returns to Oklahoma City as both teams aim to take a 3-2 series lead. The Thunder are looking to rebound from a dismal Game 4, when Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 19 points led the team but Oklahoma City made just six of their 33 three-point attempts.
The Thunder will likely still be without Jalen Williams, who is dealing with a right hamstring injury, while the Spurs seem to be getting a little healthier as both De'Aaron Fox and Dylan Harper played again in Game 4. However, Oklahoma City certainly has the depth to overcome the Williams injury.
