NBA playoffs: Thunder one win from finals as Wembanyama and Spurs go quiet in Game 5
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scores 32 points in victory
OKC lead best-of-seven series 3-2 after 127-114 win
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander did not like the way he started on Tuesday night, but the Oklahoma City Thunder star came up big in the second and third quarters – with plenty of help from the cast around him – as the Thunder beat the San Antonio Spurs 127-114 to take a 3-2 lead in the Western Conference finals.
“I thought we were first to the fight tonight on both ends and I thought we weren’t the other night,” Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said. “I just loved the way we approached tonight on both ends of the floor.”
