After the Thunder won two straight games to take a 2-1 lead, the Spurs responded with a blowout win in Game 4 to tie the series at two game a piece. Victor Wembanyama had a staggering 33 points, the only player to score over 20 point in the game, ensuring that San Antonio made this series a best-of-three.
Now, the series returns to Oklahoma City as both teams aim to take a 3-2 series lead. The Thunder are looking to rebound from a dismal Game 4, when Shai Gilgeous-Alexander‘s 19 points led the team but Oklahoma City made just six of their 33 three-point attempts.
The Thunder will likely still be without Jalen Williams, who is dealing with a right hamstring injury, while the Spurs seem to be getting a little healthier as both De’Aaron Fox and Dylan Harper played again in Game 4. However, Oklahoma City certainly has the depth to overcome the Williams injury.
Here’s what you need to know about Tuesday’s matchup between the Thunder and Spurs, including broadcast information and start time.
