Wembanyama Leads San Antonio to Victory in Game 4 of Western Conference Finals

Victor Wembanyama delivered a stellar performance with 33 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 blocks, as the San Antonio Spurs held the Oklahoma City Thunder to their second-lowest playoff score, securing a 103-82 victory in Game 4 to even the Western Conference Finals series.

Wemby took Friday's 108-123 Game 3 loss personally. The 7-foot-4 French phenom stated he needed to be better to elevate his teammates. On Sunday night, he was monumentally better, and so was the entire San Antonio squad.

The Spurs limited the Thunder to a mere 33% shooting from the field, including a dismal 6-for-33 from three-point range (18%). After being outscored 76-23 by the opponent's bench in Game 3, San Antonio's reserves contributed 30 points this time, while Oklahoma's bench managed 34.

The Spurs once again started the game strong, reminiscent of their 15-0 lead in the previous matchup. However, unlike their heavy loss on Friday, this time they maintained their lead until the final buzzer.

The home team restricted the champions to just 38 points in the first half, marking their second-lowest output in the last four regular seasons and playoffs combined. The Thunder now hold a 2-9 record when scoring fewer than 40 points in any half over the past five seasons.

The Oklahoma City franchise's lowest playoff score in history is 65 points in a loss to Memphis on May 3, 2014, while their second-lowest until now was 85 points against San Antonio on May 21, 2014.

De'Aaron Fox chipped in with 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists for San Antonio, a team that has not lost three consecutive games all season. Stephon Castle and Devin Vassell each added 13 points.

For the Thunder, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the top scorer with 19 points on 6-for-15 shooting.

Game 5 is scheduled for Tuesday in Oklahoma City, with Game 6 set for Thursday in San Antonio.
