San Antonio wasn’t much better, making just 27% of its 3s (9 of 33) and shooting just 39% from the field. However, they were playing aggressively and getting chances at the charity stripe, shooting 32 free throws to Oklahoma City’s 18.

Aggression was evident from both teams, but it was San Antonio that made the most of those moments, and it started in the first quarter.
The Spurs got off to a good start, owning a nine-point lead after the first quarter and extending it to double figures by halftime to the delight of the home crowd. Then, in the third quarter, the Thunder struggled to make shots as they began to turn the ball over, something the Spurs have capitalized on throughout the season.
San Antonio scored 25 of its points off the Thunder’s 20 turnovers, and they were also successful in fast-break moments.

At one point, the Spurs were up 25 points, and it’s always nice for a team to rest their starters in the fourth quarter with a victory in hand.
Victor Wembanyama regained his efficiency from the field, leading the Spurs with 33 points (11 of 22), while scoring three 3-pointers, grabbing eight rebounds and dishing out five assists. He also had three blocks at the other end.
But Stephon Castle (13 points, three rebounds, six assists), Devin Vassell (13 points, six rebounds, three assists) and De’Aaron Fox (12 points, 10 rebounds, five assists) all contributed well in the starting five to the winning effort. The Spurs also had six bench players, including Dylan Harper, who finished with seven points and five rebounds.
For the Thunder, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a poor shooting night, hitting only six of his 15 shots, although he made all seven of his free throws. He had four rebounds, seven assists and four turnovers for Oklahoma City.

As always, the Thunder had solid contributions from their bench, but it wasn’t up to their standards. Players like Aaron Wiggins and Jared McCain, centerpieces of the Game 3 victory, shot a combined 3 of 21 from the field for a total of eight points.
These two top seeds from the West will face off Tuesday night at 8:30 p.m. ET.
