After dropping Games 2 and 3, Sunday’s Game 4 wasn’t quite a must-win for the Spurs, but it was close. While we’ve seen a pair of 3–1 comebacks in these NBA playoffs already, doing so against the defending champion Thunder is likely a bridge too far, even for this very talented San Antonio squad.
Not only did the Spurs get the win that they really needed on Sunday, but they did so in style. San Antonio opened up a big early lead, and while Oklahoma City chipped away early, the Spurs regained momentum to close out the first half, with Victor Wembanyama burying an incredible half-court buzzer beater to give San Antonio a 12-point edge at the break.
