San Antonio pushes the lead
A 9-0 run has the Spurs up 81-64 with 6:00 to go in the third — their largest lead of the contest.
Dylan Harper (18 pts on 6-of-7 shooting) has the last six points. He’s been a spark for San Antonio all night — when his 3-pointer is on target, he’s as tough to stop as any guard in the league.
9:58 PM / MAY 28
Spurs come out firing
Devin Vassell (12 pts) and Julian Champagnie (8 pts) have hit 3-pointers in the opening minutes of the third quarter, as the Spurs extend their lead.
They’re now 13-of-29 (44.8%) from deep tonight.
70-60 Spurs with 9:35 to go in the third quarter.
9:38 PM / MAY 28
Spurs up 60-53 at the half
Oklahoma City pulled within five as the half neared a conclusion, but Victor Wembanyama (22 pts, 6 reb, 4 3PM) tipped in a De’Aaron Fox miss to give the Spurs a boost going into the break.
The Thunder keep rallying despite the Spurs’ hot shooting — 50% from the field, 44% from 3-point range — and the raucous crowd. Cason Wallace (11 pts on 4-of-4 shooting) is their top scorer.
The Spurs will enter the second half with a chance to extend their season. The Thunder can go to the NBA Finals for the second-straight year. The stage is set.
“No matter what, just double down on being us,” said Dylan Harper (12 pts on 5-of-6 shooting) of San Antonio’s approach.
9:29 PM / MAY 28
Competitive fire on display
The energy is turning up in the Frost Bank Center.
Carter Bryant just swooped down the lane for a slam, followed by Devin Vassell rejecting Chet Holmgren and letting him know about it.
“He’s still going,” Reggie Miller said of Vassell’s trash talk. “And I love it.”
55-46 Spurs with 2:15 to go in the half.
9:19 PM / MAY 28
Thunder pushing back
Oklahoma City went on a 16-7 run to begin the quarter, cutting the Spurs’ lead to six, including two 3-pointers from Cason Wallace (8 pts).
But the Spurs countered, as Devin Vassell hit a 3-pointer, Dylan Harper (12 pts) slashed to the rim and Victor Wembanyama returned to the floor with a quick bucket.
51-41 with 5:29 to go in the half.
9:13 PM / MAY 28
Dylan Harper has it going
Eight points in 8:44 for the rookie out of Rutgers — that’s the most he’s scored in any game since Game 2.
42-31 Spurs with 8:47 to go in the half.
9:04 PM / MAY 28
Spurs lead 35-22 after one
San Antonio hit eight 3-pointers in the first quarter — the most they’ve hit in a quarter in the play-by-play era (since 1997-98), including three from Victor Wembanyama (11 pts).
It’s a brilliant start for the Spurs. Keep an eye on De’Aaron Fox, though. The veteran point guard missed a point-blank bank shot and airmailed a corner 3-pointer during the quarter. He’s still searching for his form while recovering from a right high ankle sprain.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (6 pts on 3-of-7 shooting) and Isaiah Hartenstein (6 pts, 3 reb, 2 ast) lead the Thunder in scoring.
8:59 PM / MAY 28
Spurs locked in early
Devin Vassell, Keldon Johnson and Dylan Harper just knocked down 3-pointers in quick succession for the Spurs. They’re looking for a hot shooting night at home — the crowd’s lifting them so far.
San Antonio is 7-of-12 (58.3%) from 3-point range so far, while Oklahoma City is 1-of-5 (20%).
28-20 Spurs with 2:00 to go in the quarter.
8:46 PM / MAY 28
Wembanyama in isolation
After calling off his teammates, Wembanyama isolated at the top of the arc against Isaiah Hartenstein, shaking him with a crossover dribble then hitting a turnaround jumper.
When he does the 7’4″ wing thing, it can be breathtaking.
14-9 Spurs with 7:02 to go in the first.
8:38 PM / MAY 28
Wemby starts off strong
Victor Wembanyama (6 pts, 1 blk) has nailed his first two 3-pointers. He lined them up like he wanted them.
WHAT A START FOR WEMBY IN GAME 6 🔥
Three-pointer.
Block.
Three-pointer.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder are in San Antonio to face Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals.
Oklahoma City:
PG Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
SGA had his highest-scoring game of the series in Game 5, dropping 32 points while going 16-of-17 at the free throw line. With De’Aaron Fox and Dylan Harper recovering from injuries, he’s had more opportunities to attack in the lane. We’ll see if Carter Bryant, who’s been an irritant for SGA, earns additional time tonight.
SG Luguentz Dort
Dort’s -45 in this series — by far the lowest on the team — which opens minutes for Alex Caruso, who’s been stellar, and a team-high +42.
SF Jalen Williams
If J-Dub plays, look for the Spurs to test him off the bounce. He’ll need to get his legs under him quickly as the Thunder seek to play on into June.
PF Chet Holmgren
Holmgren dunked on Victor Wembanyama 1.5 times in Game 5 (one was ruled to have occurred after the shot clock expired). That’s a win for the Minnesota native, who dropped 16 points and 11 rebounds as he continued his battles with Wemby.
C Isaiah Hartenstein
Can the Spurs pull Hartenstein away from the rim? Wemby was 0-for-5 from 3-point range in Game 5, letting the Thunder center drop deeper into the paint. It’d be surprising, but I could see Kelly Olynyk getting a nod over Luke Kornet tonight to see if they can stretch him out.
San Antonio:
PG De’Aaron Fox
Fox hasn’t had a particularly good game in this series so far as he recovers from an ankle injury. With their season on the line, the Spurs could use some heroics from their closer.
SG Stephon Castle
Castle looked frustrated by the end of Game 5. He’s been a warrior in this series, but has to resist the temptation to try to do too much defensively. His intensity reminds me of Rajon Rondo or Marcus Smart — he’s always competing, but it can be overwhelming at times.
SF Devin Vassell
Vassell’s largely been defended by SGA in his series, who’s held him to 12 points on 4-of-12 shooting over 103.1 partial possessions. A hot shooting night could change that.
PF Julian Champagnie
Champagnie came out firing in Game 5, scoring 17 first-quarter points, but only had five after that. Every 3-pointer the Spurs hit is precious, especially when Carter Bryant and Luke Kornet get minutes off the bench.
C Victor Wembanyama
It’s the biggest game of The Alien’s career so far. He looked human in Game 5 — the Thunder may be wearing him down. Game 1 was a masterpiece, though. Does he have the legs for another such effort?
6:05 PM / MAY 28
Shai’s a star
The two-time Kia MVP has a chance to join Michael Jordan (4x) and LeBron James as the only players to win that honor and Finals MVP in the same season on two occasions.
That is, if the Thunder can defeat the Spurs and advance.
SGA in the building 🔥
With a win tonight, Oklahoma City can become the 1st team to reach back-to-back NBA Finals since Golden State in 2019!

Thursday’s injury report
Ajay Mitchell is out with a right calf strain for the Thunder, while Jalen Williams is questionable with a left hamstring strain. Thomas Sorber remains out while recovering from surgery on his right ACL.
2:37 PM / MAY 28
The Wemby factor
The Spurs will need an aggressive Wemby if they want to keep their season alive and force a Game 7:
In 2 wins: 37.0 PPG, 16.0 RPG, 23.5 FGA, 53.2 FG%
In 3 losses: 22.3 PPG, 9.0 RPG, 15.3 FGA, 43.5 FG%
1:18 PM / MAY 28
Entering tonight, the Thunder own a nine-point edge (569-560) over the Spurs, the slimmest margin through five games of a West Finals since Lakers vs. Nuggets in 2009.
