Wembanyama to score more<\/a> than 20 points after a disappointing showing in game five, and the 22-year-old duly delivered.<\/p>\nWembanyama finished with 28 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks as the Spurs dominated after taking an early lead to level the series at 3-3.<\/p>\n
The Frenchman came out of the game with almost eight minutes remaining in the third quarter and midway through the Spurs scoring 20 consecutive points.<\/p>\n
Johnson praised Wembanyama’s “passion and desire” and taking “responsibility” after his dominant display.<\/p>\n
Stephon Castle finished with 17 points, nine assists and one turnover, while Dylan Harper added 18 points off the bench.<\/p>\n
Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander could not replicate his 32-point outing in game five as he finished with 15 points and four assists after making only six of 18 shots.<\/p>\n
It was Gilgeous-Alexander’s lowest scoring output since he scored 14 in game three of the 2025 Western Conference finals against the Minnesota Timberwolves.<\/p>\n
The two-time NBA MVP is shooting just 37.9% from the floor in the series after making 51.4% of his field-goal attempts during the first two rounds of this year’s post-season.<\/p>\n
“I’m not sure, to be honest,” Gilgeous-Alexander said when asked why he is struggling. <\/p>\n
“A lot of the shots that I’m shooting, I shot plenty of times before. They feel good, and it’s not good.<\/p>\n
“They [San Antonio] were the aggressors from start to finish. They played harder than us, hit more shots, were more aggressive, were in attack mode. We were on our heels.”<\/p>\n
Whoever wins game seven in Oklahoma City on Saturday, 30 May (Sunday 01:00 BST), will face the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
