The Oklahoma City Thunder tightened their grip on the Western Conference finals on May 26, 2026, overpowering the San Antonio Spurs in a pivotal Game 5 and taking a 3–2 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Tuesday’s result leaves Oklahoma City just one victory away from booking a championship clash with the New York Knicks, who already secured the Eastern Conference crown. A win in Game 6 would send the Thunder to the NBA Finals for the first time since their rebranding from Seattle.
The Spurs now face elimination and must win the next two contests to keep their season alive. Game 6 is scheduled for later this week.
