Great players meet the moment. Victor Wembanyama met the moment in Game 6 leading the Spurs to a decisive 118-91 victory over the Thunder, setting the tone right from the jump knocking down three, 3-pointers in the first quarter.
San Antonio led 60-53 at the half with half their field goals coming from beyond the arc. Credit the Spurs’ defense in the third quarter as OKC went ice cold from the field at one point missing 13 straight field goal attempts and going without a point for 7:30. The game was over at that point as San Antonio outscored the Thunder 32-13 in the third quarter. The starters for each side watched the fourth from their respective benches.

Wembanyama finished with 28 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Spurs. Dylan Harper chipped in 18 off the bench. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was held in check, scoring just 15 points for Oklahoma City. In only one game in this series has SGA shot even 50% as the Spurs have at least consistently bothered the two-time MVP every time he touches the ball.
San Antonio and Oklahoma City head into Game 7 with all the pressure you’d expect. Who handles this moment and propels their team to the NBA Finals and a date with the New York Knicks? Can San Antonio lean on Wembanyama’s two‑way presence, and get enough shot creation from its guards? Or will Oklahoma City’s athleticism, defensive pressure, and Game 7 experience from last season be the difference?
