Wembanyama Disappointed After Spurs Fall to Thunder, Despite Another Brilliant Stat Line
The Thunder seek to rebound after a 122-115 double-overtime loss, in the third Game 1 with multiple overtimes in 40 seasons, ESPN Research said.
- On Wednesday, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the San Antonio Spurs 122-113 in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals, tying the series at one game apiece.
- Oklahoma City coach Mark Daigneault increased Isaiah Hartenstein's role to improve physical defense against San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama, using aggressive tactics to disrupt the French forward.
- Hartenstein contributed 10 points and 13 rebounds in his expanded role, while Wembanyama finished with 21 points, 17 rebounds, six assists, and four blocked shots despite the defensive attention.
- The Spurs rallied from 13 down in the fourth quarter but failed to complete the comeback. Wembanyama said it was exhausting to "spend so much energy on catching back up."
- As the series moves to San Antonio for Game 3, Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander noted the team must constantly "mix things up" to challenge elite players.
