Facing elimination, the Spurs delivered one of their most complete performances of the postseason, combining elite defense with clutch scoring late in the game.
San Antonio entered the matchup under heavy pressure after dropping the previous game, but the team responded with urgency from the opening tip. The Thunder struggled to maintain offensive rhythm as the Spurs controlled the pace and capitalized on key turnovers.
