The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the San Antonio Spurs 122–113 on May 20 at Paycom Center, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leading the way on 30 points while Alex Caruso added 17. Oklahoma City's balanced attack produced 34 assists on 47.9 percent shooting, though the Spurs matched that efficiency at 48.8 percent and launched 16 three-pointers compared to the Thunder's 13. San Antonio's Sham Castle scored 25 and Devin Vassell chipped in 22, but the Spurs' 21 turnovers proved costly—nearly triple Oklahoma City's nine miscues. The Thunder controlled the second half with a dominant third quarter (34 points) that broke open a tight contest, while San Antonio's second-quarter collapse (20 points) derailed their comeback bid. Despite San Antonio's 45-rebound advantage, Oklahoma City's 14 steals and defensive rating of 117.1 suffocated the Spurs' rhythm down the stretch. The game finished well below the Vegas total of 213.5, reflecting the defensive intensity both teams displayed. The result strengthens Oklahoma City's playoff positioning as the Spurs face mounting pressure in the series.
