San Antonio turned a 12-point halftime edge into a 103-82 Game 4 win, leveling the Western Conference finals at 2-2.
Victor Wembanyama set the tone with 22 first-half points and a planned half-court buzzer-beater over three defenders, a shot that pushed the Spurs to a 50-38 break lead.
The Thunder never recovered from that surge, with neither team topping 37% shooting in the first half before San Antonio pulled away after the break.
