The San Antonio Spurs set up a mouthwatering Game 7 against the Oklahoma City Thunder with a dominant win to tie the Western Conference Finals on Thursday night.
The New York Knicks await the winner in next month’s NBA Finals and San Antonio – led by Victor Wembanyama – took the series to a decider with a 118-91 victory.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder are looking to win back-to-back NBA Championships but, remarkably, they never led at any point of Thursday’s game.
Oklahoma City’s hopes of booking their place in the NBA Finals with a game to spare were effectively ended in the third quarter, when they were restricted to just 13 points.
The Spurs outscored their opponents 32-13 over those 12 minutes, a period of dominance that included a run of 20 unanswered points.
