It was a tale of depth in Game 5 for OKC. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way with 32 points on 7-for-19 shooting, but he was far from the only threat for the Thunder. Jared McCain entered the starting five and exploded for 20 points. Alex Caruso continued his postseason dominance from the bench, scoring 22 points.
For the Thunder, they will need to maintain their shooting efficiency in Game 6. OKC shot 48.2% from the floor in Game 5 and 43.8% from three. If the Thunder keep this up, they can rush the pace and be the favorite in a potential barn burner.
For San Antonio, the key is capitalizing on turnovers. In the one convincing win for San Antonio this series, they managed five fewer turnovers than the Thunder. They also managed 27 points off turnovers to just 13 for the Thunder. If they can retake that defensive control and fast break offense, the Spurs can force a Game 7.
Here’s what you need to know about Thursday’s matchup between the Spurs and Thunder, including broadcast information and start time.
