Oklahoma City erased San Antonio’s 15-0 opening burst and pulled away for a 123-108 Game 3 win, seizing a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference finals.
76 bench points drove the comeback, with Alex Caruso, Jaylin Williams, Jared McCain and Cason Wallace swinging the game after the Spurs led 19-4 five minutes in.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander matched Victor Wembanyama with 26 points and added 12 assists, while San Antonio’s home debut in the series failed to deliver the edge it expected.
The series had been split through two games—San Antonio took Game 1 behind Wembanyama’s 41 points and 24 rebounds before the defending champion Thunder answered in Game 2—and Game 4 is set for Sunday night.
With a key player injured, can OKC's depth overcome Wembanyama's dominance in a pivotal Game 3?
After his breakout game, is Jared McCain the real X-factor for the Thunder's championship defense?
San Antonio excels where OKC is weakest. Can they exploit this fatal flaw to take the series lead?
