Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 30 points and handed out nine assists as the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the San Antonio Spurs 122-113 in Game 2, evening the Western Conference finals at 1-1.

The (omg everyone is injured) triple take: Thunder 122, Spurs 113 1. This series is a battle of attrition already, and it's only Game 2 2. Spurs are producing more turnovers than the Pillsbury factory 3. Alex Caruso's Steph Curry impression remains baffling www.expressnews.com/sports/spurs...

4. Hartenstein got away with crazy fouls on Wemby. Should have fouled out. 5. Castle has to stop turning the ball over 6. Stop leaving Caruso open from the 3-pt line

Spurs need to deploy their Plumlee missile and broadside SGA a couple of times. That'll rachet up the refereeing and they'll start calling fouls on Hartenstein to keep the peace.

Do y'all cover the OKC Locker Room postgame, too? Because I'd love someone to ask Hartenstein about the thousands of kids around the world who will have his poster on their walls. 🤣😂

Looking at Team Net Points per game via ESPNAnalytics.com for the western conference finals, the Spurs hold an advantage in many of the categories over two games. The key difference is turnovers. OKC has +8.2 net points per game via turnovers.

Net Points breakdown table for the Oklahoma City Thunder vs. San Antonio Spurs, Western Conference Finals, via ESPN Analytics. Values are zero-sum between teams.

Half-Court Net Points — Oklahoma City Thunder: 3s +5.8, 2s -3.2, TOV +8.2, REB -2.6, FT -1.7. San Antonio Spurs: 3s -5.8, 2s +3.2, TOV -8.2, REB +2.6, FT +1.7.

Other Net Points — Oklahoma City Thunder: FB -2.0, OR -3.3, Misc -0.1. San Antonio Spurs: FB +2.0, OR +3.3, Misc +0.1.

Overall Net Points: Oklahoma City Thunder +1.0, San Antonio Spurs -1.0.

OKC’s margin is built almost entirely on a +8.2 turnover edge, which offsets advantages San Antonio holds in 2-point shooting, rebounding, free throws, fast breaks, and offensive rebounds.

NEW: The Spurs battled through exhaustion, injuries and a thin rotation on Wednesday as they fell to the Thunder in Game 2 of the WCF, but the bigger concern is their battered roster with a critical Game 3 looming in 48 hours. More on Game 2 for @sportsjournal.bsky.social ⬇
