Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
The Thunder had their chances, but Wembanyama’s dominance and clutch plays sealed the deal for the Spurs.
Gilgeous-Alexander was his usual self, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Wembanyama’s monster game.
The Thunder’s bench was left stunned by Wembanyama’s turnaround three-pointer, and the momentum never shifted back in their favor.
This one felt recognizable early, as the two teams went back and forth all night.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Wembanyama take over in a big moment.
This series could go either way, but Wembanyama’s presence gives the Spurs a significant advantage.
