Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayThe Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the San Antonio Spurs 127-114 to win Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals and take a 3-2 series lead.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander lead the Thunder with 32 points and nine assists, though he committed six turnovers in the win.
"I always say we're a team out there," said Gilgeous-Alexander. "We don't get this far, I don't have this individual success, this team doesn't have the success without all 15 guys in the locker room."
Chet Holmgren finished with 16 points and 11 rebounds, while Alex Caruso had 22 points and six assists. Making his first career playoff start, Jared McCain scored 18 out of his 20 points in the second half.
"He's played in the most big games on this team," Gilgeous-Alexander said of Caruso. "That experience you can't recreate or manufacture. AC isn't some uber-talented guy. ... But he's one of -- if not the best competitor in the NBA night in and night out. He wears that and he sets that tone for us as a group, and it's come full-fledged this series with guys out and him having to step up."
Stephon Castle lead the Spurs with 24 points. Victor Wembanyama had 20 points and six rebounds but shot just 4-of-15 from the field.
Wembanyama also shot 3-of-11 with Isaiah Hartenstein as his main defender.
"It's a team thing," Hartenstein said of his defense. "With any great player, you're not going to stop him with one player. So it's going in there, just making his looks hard, making sure he just doesn't get anything easy."
Game 6 of the series takes place on Thursday in San Antonio.
