The San Antonio Spurs leveled the Western Conference finals on May 25, 2026, with a lopsided Game 4 victory, a result head coach Gregg Popovich helped engineer with a pointed remark to his team: “That’s BS.”
The decisive win knotted the best-of-seven series at 2-2 and shifted momentum heading into Game 5. Players said Popovich’s no-nonsense comment crystallized the urgency the club needed after falling behind earlier in the series.
While full statistics were not immediately available, the Spurs controlled the pace from the opening tip, building a commanding lead that never wavered. Popovich credited his roster’s defensive intensity and unselfish ball movement for the turnaround.
Game 5 is scheduled for later this week, with both teams now seeking a pivotal edge in the chase for a spot in the NBA Finals.
