The San Antonio Spurs earned a decisive 103–82 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals on Sunday night, tying the series at 2–2. San Antonio controlled the game from the opening minutes, using a 14–0 start to establish momentum that Oklahoma City was unable to overcome.
Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with 33 points, eight rebounds, five assists, and three blocks. His scoring came from a mix of perimeter shooting, transition finishes, and interior play, helping San Antonio maintain a steady lead throughout the night. The Spurs entered halftime ahead 50–38 after Wembanyama connected on a long-range buzzer-beater to close the second quarter.
San Antonio’s defensive adjustments played a major role in the outcome. The Spurs held the Thunder to 33 percent shooting from the field and limited Oklahoma City to 6-for-33 from three-point range. The defensive pressure also forced 17 turnovers, which San Antonio converted into 25 points.
Stephon Castle and Devin Vassell each added 13 points, contributing on both ends of the floor. Castle’s defensive work helped contain Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who finished with 19 points on 6-for-15 shooting. Oklahoma City struggled to generate consistent offense without several injured contributors, and the team’s bench production declined after a strong showing in Game 3.
San Antonio’s reserves outscored the Thunder’s bench 30–34, providing needed support in a game where the Spurs maintained a double-digit lead for most of the night. With the series now tied, both teams shift focus to a pivotal Game 5 in Oklahoma City, where the winner will take a significant step toward the NBA Finals.
