After losing Game 1 of their NBA Western Conference Finals series to the San Antonio Spurs, the defending-champion Oklahoma City Thunder stood their ground Wednesday night and tied the series at one game apiece. Now the best-of-seven series moves to San Antonio, where the No. 1 seed Thunder will face the No. 2 seed Spurs Friday night (8:30 p.m. ET, NBC/Peacock).
The Thunder got a game-high 30 points from back-to-back MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, one of seven OKC players to score double-digits, in Wednesday’s 122-113 win. That gave the Thunder a split of the first two games in Oklahoma City, as Spurs star Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs to a double-overtime win in Game 1, scoring 41 and recording 24 rebounds. Which team will take a 2-1 advantage after Game 3?
