The San Antonio Spurs dominated the Oklahoma City Thunder 103–82 on May 24 at the Frost Bank Center, delivering a defensive masterclass that fell well short of the Vegas total of 219.5 points. Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with 33 points, while Devin Vassell added 13, as San Antonio shot just 38.9 percent from the field but compensated with suffocating perimeter defense, holding OKC to 33 percent shooting and forcing 17 turnovers. The Spurs' defense was the story, posting a 78.2 defensive rating compared to Oklahoma City's 100.9, and they dominated the glass with 52 rebounds to 47. San Antonio's balanced attack generated 25 assists on 103 points, while the Thunder managed only 22 assists despite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 19-point effort and Isaiah Hartenstein's 12 points. The Spurs controlled the third quarter outscoring OKC 28–22, extending their advantage and never allowing the Thunder to mount a comeback. This defensive performance positions San Antonio as a formidable playoff contender moving forward.
