00:05San Antonio has been waiting exactly nine years for this night.
00:09The Western Conference Finals back in their town.
00:11Crossbank Center sold out.
00:13Start Memorial Day weekend to break this one all time in the Western Finals.
00:18Pretty much 95% of the series has been in single digits.
00:24Games have been close.
00:25They've been tight.
00:26Multiple quarters have been dead even.
00:28Mark Davis, the group chief, with Courtney Kirkland and Justin Van Dyke.
00:38Famous game, one and two.
00:40Wembenyama and the Spurs win the tip.
00:47Fox first attack.
00:49Ankle looks good.
00:53Eight to shoot back to Wembenyama.
00:56Step back forward.
01:02Wait a minute now.
01:05Thunder 0 for 2 and a turnover.
01:07The South Pole's 3.
01:08And get them all.
01:10Timeout, OKC.
01:12They've opened 0 for 3.
01:15Dork lost it.
01:16Castle a handoff.
01:17Wembenyama leads the break.
01:18Here they have fun.
01:19That's close.
01:22And just Alexander sees the line.
01:25And Castle with the block.
01:27Unbelievable start for the Spurs.
01:29Castle back the other way.
01:30Wembenyama and Dork down.
01:32Vasell a triple.
01:34Again.
01:36To Hardenstein.
01:37Got a shoot.
01:38Wembenyama blocks his captain's shot.
01:41Behind the play.
01:42They found.
01:43Couldn't hear it.
01:450 for 6 from the field.
01:47Three turnovers.
01:48Dork.
01:49Hardenstein.
01:50Finally.
01:54Hardenstein will not be the most popular man in this town.
01:57Oh, what a move.
01:58Five bucks.
02:01Boy, did they miss down.
02:06Caruso back the other way.
02:08Caruso, another steal.
02:12Champ hitting.
02:13Took it back from him.
02:15Chased by Caruso.
02:16Big job to finish.
02:17Kept alive for OKC.
02:20It's the case of Wallace who has checked in.
02:22And he hits a 3.
02:24His shooting has been good in this series.
02:25Saved.
02:27Go Miss Alexander.
02:28In a straight jacket.
02:30Down Caruso who settles.
02:32And scores.
02:34Caruso comes to keep it alive.
02:35No shot clock reset.
02:37Williams let the flyby go.
02:39Knocked down three.
02:40There's four points in two games.
02:43Williams again.
02:46No hesitation there by J. Will.
02:49This is exactly what I get to close out or have open two points shots.
02:54Castle initiates from the top.
02:55Johnson launching.
02:58Boy, they need.
03:01He has really struggled in these playoffs.
03:04Braining sixth man of the year.
03:06He ain't got a step.
03:07Pulls up over Vassell.
03:09He is smoothly despite the mid-year trade from Philadelphia.
03:14Here's Champagne.
03:14He had a step in space.
03:18He's been going at each other since they were 17.
03:22Fox loads.
03:25With him out there.
03:28Holmgren.
03:29And when Vanyama closed.
03:32Touched the door on him.
03:33Mitchell turns the corner.
03:35Defended by Bryant.
03:36The rookie.
03:37But he still scores.
03:39Vanyama.
03:40Great spot for him to catch it.
03:43Inside.
03:44Knocked away.
03:45Back to the other way.
03:46Come to the Thunder.
03:48Ed McCann.
03:48Nice finish at the basket with two converging on him.
03:55Box to Wemby.
03:56Deep.
03:59That was almost at that spot where he tied.
04:04Great honor for the Basement Basketball Hall of Fame.
04:06Hilties Alexander scoreless in the first quarter.
04:09Holmgren now has four points as he only had one.
04:13Hilties Alexander.
04:15Carded by the rookie.
04:16First rapper.
04:17Carter Bryant steps back for his first points.
04:20And for the lead.
04:22Jaylen Williams wide open.
04:24Williams open again.
04:26And he hits again.
04:28Woo!
04:29Williams.
04:30Three.
04:31Three.
04:3111-0 run extended over the first quarter.
04:35Here to the start of the second.
04:38As he tried and takes care of that.
04:40Ninth three-quarter of this postseason.
04:42Castle gets the board.
04:45Spurs back the other way.
04:47Boxes look good off that ankle injury.
04:50Gets inside and gets two.
04:53There was no way.
04:55Stop De'Aaron and keep him in front.
05:00Inside, Wallace with the cut.
05:01All started with a punishing screen by Dort at midcourt.
05:04And that's a new cut because that's where the soft spot the defense is.
05:07Six assists for FDF.
05:10Six assists for FDF.
05:15Stepping back for three.
05:18Again, no defending.
05:21Kicks to homebren inside.
05:23Kaysen Wallace saw him behind the play.
05:26Well, good.
05:26Veteran Harrison Barnes, Dylan Harper's checking for San Antonio.
05:30This is Alexander.
05:31The inside overcast.
05:33Tom Scott made his second field goal.
05:36A wide guard is by McCain.
05:38Carter Bryant.
05:40Fake on the three.
05:42Horns out of the corner.
05:45Good rebound.
05:46Harper inside.
05:47The green it up.
05:49About a number of times.
05:50SGA on field ball attempts.
05:52Hits the ground at 10% more than anybody else in this postseason.
05:56Kaysen Wallace, James Harden.
05:59McCain hits the two.
06:0114th out of Oklahoma City.
06:02None on the Spurs.
06:03Fasell contested three.
06:05Tom, the puck's up.
06:08Backdoor help.
06:11Martin Stein.
06:12Nice heat inside.
06:14Cutting the cane.
06:15Chance to think of a game of the stands, right?
06:18Kaysen Wallace kept playing.
06:20Isaiah Jones knocks down three.
06:23All of the cities are so shorter.
06:25Thunder get the top.
06:26Two, three, four, four.
06:29It's Alexander pump.
06:31Window for two.
06:33Nine in a row.
06:34Back in the playoff game so far.
06:37Final two minutes.
06:38SGA from Champagne Grants in his right ankle.
06:41As Kildress Alexander scores.
06:43Castle, worst of that.
06:4512th second difference game of shot clock.
06:48Caruso corner.
06:49Williams for three.
06:50Got it.
06:51Alex, you all were down 15-0.
06:53And you told the guys it's a 48-minute game.
06:55What do you think of the way you all responded?
06:57Yeah, we weren't ready to play.
07:00Cannot be ready to play going on the road for the first game of the series.
07:03We did a good job of settling in and competing a little bit.
07:06Coming back and making some plays.
07:07You were ready to play, though.
07:08How in the world do you come off the bench and create chaos so quickly?
07:11It's the playoffs.
07:12You'll be ready to go.
07:13Appreciate it.
07:14Yeah, thank you.
07:15Defensive pressure ratcheted up to begin the third quarter.
07:17Fox denying SGA.
07:20Hartstein, going to the basket.
07:22Took advantage of Wempanyama's defensive attention on the MVP.
07:27Who's Dorton?
07:29A clean catch.
07:30Secondary turned away by the presence of Wempanyama.
07:33But Caruso in the corner again.
07:36Caruso.
07:37Okay.
07:38Your favorite player.
07:41Here's Alexander's face back.
07:42Hulker in the finish.
07:43As he attacks the rim.
07:45And it's a dozen-point lead.
07:47For OKC, largest of the night.
07:49For OKC, largest of the night.
07:51Can they get Wempanyama going in the offense?
07:55Shep, Penny for deep.
07:56Big three for San Antonio.
07:58Four shots.
08:00In game two, first half.
08:01Five shots thus far tonight.
08:03He's got to get him.
08:04Him going.
08:05Hulker at the rim.
08:07And it's two.
08:09Caruso cuts himself right in.
08:11Flips ahead to Castle.
08:12Mitchell chases.
08:14Hard contact there as he hits the deck.
08:16As he was going up shooting and now pushing.
08:19Lassell got right in there to close.
08:21Look out.
08:22Castle trying to wrestle himself away from one of the spurs.
08:27And he's getting in somebody's face saying,
08:29Come on, let's go.
08:30The contact to Mitchell to the back was unnecessary to a vulnerable airborne shooter.
08:35Therefore, this is a flagrant foul to be won.
08:39After that, there will be a technical foul assessed.
08:43Vassal as well as Mitchell.
08:44As Vassal pushes him into his chest.
08:46And Mitchell returns it with a push.
08:49So we have double technical fouls.
08:50There will be no shots.
08:53As well as we have a penalty.
08:56So it should be two in the ball for San Antonio.
09:00Because of the flagrant one.
09:01Again, love that line from Mitch Johnson in our meeting tonight.
09:05Hilton's Alexander turns the corner.
09:07Saw four of the five spurs on that possession.
09:10But he was aggressive looking for a shot.
09:12Just one here in the third quarter.
09:15That's deep.
09:15That's McCain.
09:16That's three for Jared McCain.
09:20Holy.
09:20Wallace.
09:21Williams.
09:22Everybody touched him.
09:24And McCain scores.
09:25And Embiid does.
09:27Jared McCain.
09:29Shoney strong.
09:30Vassal.
09:31He didn't get it.
09:33Vassal just down.
09:34Just off the bench.
09:36Could the Aaron Fox be the energy for this team?
09:38Vassal with the basket.
09:39What a winner.
09:40Yeah.
09:41Oh, man.
09:43You want to play.
09:44Lost their lives in service on this weekend.
09:47So many of us have the ability to celebrate and enjoy the start of summer.
09:51Dylan Harper.
09:52A three.
09:53Well, that was the first time the Spurs were attacking the basket.
09:56Good things happen.
09:58EA.
09:59Pitts.
10:00Wallace.
10:01Short on the three.
10:02George goes up to get the rebound.
10:04Lining up the MVP for three.
10:08Mumu.
10:08There's always a winner.
10:10Always a winner.
10:11Somehow, someway.
10:12Fox.
10:13Oh, nice move.
10:14Oh, beautiful stuff.
10:15From the Aaron Fox.
10:18The Timberwolves.
10:20San Antonio took them out in six.
10:21Took out Portland.
10:22It popped.
10:24Caruso from the corner.
10:25Hits the three.
10:26Alex Caruso doing it again.
10:28I incorporated that into my game.
10:30Have to be Kareem.
10:31There's a chap lining Kareem, yes.
10:33UCLA games.
10:34Legendary.
10:35One minute.
10:35Up to the butt.
10:37And one.
10:39Aaron Fox.
10:41So good with those hands.
10:43Oh, right here.
10:44Got it on cue.
10:46McCain's still going.
10:47Got it on a basket for two.
10:50It calls the natural reaction for Castle.
10:53This is the largest lead of the night.
10:55For the Thunder, Wembenyama.
10:58Touched two into that.
11:01Four seconds to difference in the Clucks.
11:04Wembenyama's gonna go.
11:06Let's move on.
11:07Harts time for two.
11:10Four point four.
11:12And over a number 11 for San Antonio tonight.
11:15Got a big problem.
11:16Game's run and two.
11:17A little bit better tonight.
11:18Hundred.
11:19That's a tough shot.
11:21Fading across the lane.
11:22Six points for Harper.
11:25Harts time hands it off.
11:28Jason Wallace to McCain.
11:30He's got a three.
11:32With Cornette in.
11:33Played only seven minutes in this one.
11:36They go double big here.
11:38And Fox for two.
11:40Man, that's so impressive with the pain he's in.
11:44Jay Penny all over home group.
11:46Defense is where they got that great start.
11:49McCain right around the box.
11:50Cornette was waiting.
11:51Too much.
11:52McCain, a playoff career high.
11:54When B misses the three.
11:58Back his place, Jack Penny.
12:02Long rebounds.
12:03You don't secure that.
12:05That might be a career high in a Thunder uniform.
12:08Wembe fought for that.
12:09Got it.
12:10And got it.
12:12It's 10.
12:13Here come the Spurs.
12:14And a lot of time left.
12:16One of the Spurs in the first 4-0-9.
12:20SGA sprees.
12:21The whole range punt by Champagne.
12:24See what?
12:25They know over here.
12:27Yes.
12:28Out for Champagne.
12:32Contacting Savage Williams.
12:34They play on a Cornette.
12:35Finishes at the rim.
12:38And Mignola.
12:40Sizing up.
12:41Stepping back to three.
12:45Masell got the caros.
12:47Timeout.
12:48Bundle.
12:49Here comes San Antonio.
12:51Into single digits.
12:54Defeats.
12:56Defeats.
12:57He throws.
12:58Gets through the free throw line.
12:59And hits.
13:00Again.
13:01Switching Champagne on Gilties Alexander.
13:03Caruso cuts in the open spot with the double.
13:06Ball moves to Williams.
13:08Hits it for a net.
13:10And the three.
13:16Let's be posting off Williams.
13:3210-point game.
13:34Turn out.
13:35By Mark Degno.
13:37A dozen is the margin.
13:40Wemby.
13:42Boom.
13:42Grabbing at his leg as he got the hit.
13:44So.
13:45In a tough spot.
13:49Easton Wallace.
13:51They are absolutely fine and patient when they see that double on HPS.
13:59Perfect.
14:01By Plumlee.
14:02Kim.
14:02Kenrich Williams.
14:04On the follow.
14:05Just in case.
14:06Keep the other guys ready and fresh.
14:09Tom McGrawford in the last game.
14:11Plumlee.
14:12Inside.
14:14The 13-year veteran attitude.
14:16To start this game.
14:17Beat up by 15.
14:19Castle Harper.
14:20Three for 15 combined.
14:22One.
14:25Henrich Williams knocks down the three.
14:27Wemby Nyama was five of eight shooting in the paint.
14:34The 1-22 had been the magic number in this series.
14:38Violinik will wrap this one up.
14:42Down 15 to start.
14:44The Thunder win by 15.
14:47And take a 2-1 series lead.
14:50Into game four on Sunday night.
14:52What allowed you all to find your flow as a group tonight?
14:55I think just being able to execute the details.
14:57We knew coming into this game.
14:58It's going to be physical.
15:00Coming into their home.
15:01It's going to be loud.
15:02But being able to weather the storm.
15:03We were able to do a great job of that.
15:05And given your story.
15:06You were traded here mid-season.
15:08What's it mean to you to be able to contribute.
15:10And showcase your versatility on this stage?
15:12It's everything.
15:13I mean that's.
15:14That's why I do this.
15:16It's to prove those people that.
15:18People who believe in me right.
15:19To be honest.
15:20My family.
15:21The support system.
15:22All these players here.
15:23They truly believe in me.
15:24And that gives me the most confidence to go out here.
15:26And do my best.
15:27Talk about believing people right.
15:29What about the unbelievable?
15:30You're 6'3".
15:31Victor Wembenyama is 7'4".
15:33How do you manage to get a layup over him?
15:35Just using some leverage.
15:37I got strong legs.
15:39So being able to use some leverage.
15:40And get it up over him.
15:42Good job.
15:42Thank you so much.
15:43Thank you.
15:43Mike.
15:47Thank you.
15:48Gracias.
