The Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs head to Frost Bank Center for a pivotal Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals with the series tied 1-1. Oklahoma City responded emphatically in Game 2 behind a dominant bench performance and another huge outing from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who finished with 30 points and nine assists.

The Spurs now return home where Victor Wembanyama has been dominant on the glass, though injuries remain a major storyline with both De’Aaron Fox and rookie Dylan Harper listed as questionable. Oklahoma City also faces concerns after Jalen Williams appeared to aggravate his hamstring during Game 2.
