" #1 Thunder at #2 Spurs | Full Game 4 Highlights | May 24, 2026"

With the Spurs at home, in San Antonio, off back-to-back losses. Thanks in part to the back-to-back MVP, Shea Gildress-Alexander leading the Thunder to a Game 3 win. Now, can the Defensive Player of the Year, Victor Wembenyama, lead his team to even the series at 2? A third straight game with a change in their starting lineup. Shea Gildress-Alexander, University of Kentucky. Cason Wallace, Kentucky. Ludens Lord, Arizona State. Chad Holmgren, Kentucky University. Isaiah Hardenstein, Germany. Throw it up between Wembenyama and Holmgren. And for the fourth consecutive game, the ball begins with the Spurs. Wembenyama, first shot. It's short. Chased down by Fox 3, team Wemby for 3. Now, will they guard SGA tonight? Hardenstein, left free. It is packed and shot. It's the Thunder on the board. Wembenyama has released. He joins the defense. Holmgren to the basket. Ramsey blocked him! Alive. Inside Holmgren. Too late. Shot clock violation. You don't want him falling in love with it. SGA trying to get rid of a pesky Cason inside. Hardenstein hit that shot twice, and the Thunder leads. But to go over a 7'5 guy and make it that same accuracy is tough. Turns the corner, gets inside, draws some contact, and scores. That's above his season average. 3 for 3. Look at this. Look, because right now, Wemby is not able to shoot a 3. That will change when Caruso comes into the game. He hasn't had many dunks the last two games. Gets one there. And then for the lob. Two-man game for 4. For 4. For Hardenstein. Everybody touched it. Beautiful ball movement. But Wemby had possession inside. So they play on. And it's the 6th man of the year, Johnson. First three to the basket. And they need him. 6 on the shot clock for the Spurs. Passes. 6 for 3. Hits 5 threes in game 3. The miss there. Back the other way, Vassell. The Spurs have scored 12 in a row. Keeping the dribble alive. Got Wemby out of the paint. But Sabell said no. Spurs the other way with Vassell. To Wemby. K.C. Both free throws missed. Remains a 15-point lead for the Spurs. Back in the game, SGA. Yeah, my hand's fine. I'm good. I'm going left. There you go. This is the first game for the Nuns this year. But they have been fans, like you said, Mike, since the 90s. It actually all started because they were called to work with the youth in the community. And they started following the team to better understand their interests. So cool. So great. That's the loyalty. Both markets. Great engagement at every level. SGA made a second field goal. And there is Cornett. On the dunk. There's that 45 action right there by the Spurs. Should be able to test space. Penny fakes it. Gets it to the corner. Vassell knocks down 3. Fans wanted the call. Alexander on the move. Sweet stuff to find space. Williams hits a 3. Big time in transition right there by Williams. He's been homegridden. Cleans it up. Only 3 bench points. Remember how big that bench was in game 3. Nice finish. Pass from Wallace. Caruso located. Isaiah Jones. Now Vassell. Stuck right inside. In the air and 1. Isaiah Jones showing the patience inside. There it is. Because they feel like that's the one person that would give them an advantage. Knox turns the corner. Turns around and scores. Don't do something like this. And do it better and different. Get the experience. You can put some blocks. Harper played through his right hand. Doesn't read three. Pass is short. Can't fill out cornets. That was inside. You can't just reach down and get it. You've got to go grab it. Hartenstein. Circled out. Gets it back. Fighting for space. Barnes gets it to him. Space over Hartenstein. For 2. And the Thunder down the line. Back the other way. These are some great looks that Champagny is getting. Hartenstein in traffic. Nice catch and finish. As Wenbinyama goes down. As Shea is snaking his way towards Wenby. He's got space. He's got 2. Hartenstein stayed in front of Wenbinyama. He can roll into the basket. Wenby couldn't catch. Got there. He about to put it in. In the early round, we had a lot of games with some high turnover. Johnson at home. Caruso comes away. Comes over to knock it away. He hasn't seen a double team, which means you don't have a lot of room to work. He's up there. Great defense. Sure was. Beeson-Wallace over Wenby. For 2. A 5-star finish. Walls pushes back the other way at Champagny. Holdren gets the tip as he found a little window behind Wenby. In the first 5 seconds before defense can set up. Wenbinyama hasn't been hot from 3. Going inside. Going to get it himself. And he did. That's the second time he's done that. He said, first you don't succeed, try again like Aliyah. That was straight off the glass with that one. Shea stepping back. That's beautiful separation right there. Vassell off the 2 feet. Vassell. Wenbinyama, I think he's going to go. I think he's going to go for midcourt. What does that ending give you? Without this crowd, we're nothing, man. We're the best crowd in the world. We just hit a huge shot. We need that momentum going into the second half. We saw the fast start in game 3, though. What was different about the fast start tonight? Just maintaining our pace. I feel like they slowed us down last game. So maintaining our pace, kicking the shots. One of the poorest offensive halves the Thunder have had in many a playoff game. And they put a second half comeback together. They begin with Cason Wallace knocking down a 3. That was Wenbinyama's answer at the end of that second quarter. At the rim, Victor. They converge on him. He goes over them. The first half, off on this one here. Cason racing to hold his chest and score. Richard on the attack. Timeout, OKC. In his sixth year, he's really seen the rebuild of this team and is a big reason why they have been so good. Gilchrist-Alexander, nice hit for the Spurs. Largest lead they've had in these four games. Look out. Athletic guards making it so tough to get a clean look. And Vassell reaching. Takes it away. The lob. Tap goal. Another timeout for the Thunder. Vassell. Great ball movement. Fox finishes with three. Vassell. Harper on the board. Bouncy, athletic. Vassell going at full speed to the basket. And Mitch Johnson will take a timeout as SGA gets inside for two. 2.32 to go. 20-point game. Thunder trying to get it somewhere in the neighborhood here. It's inside by McCain. Winsman-Yama crumbles to the deck. That's seven in a row for the Thunder. Fox. And that's where Fox has missed. The Thunder, see if it pays off dividends for now and later. And it's dressed with Chet and Isaiah on the bench. Wingby, the friendly touch on the three. She draws two. Isaiah-Joe working inside. Williams. Knocks down three-pointer. Williams. Ditto from the last trip. They're leading by 18, heading to this fourth quarter. Eldon Johnson leaps. Shot clock works inside. Oh, Cameron Williams. And Johnson scores. Military and military-connected families call this beautiful area home. Up down wide of the call. Didn't get it. Castle leaving for a win with the armor. Drop it off to him and let him finish. Dorton hasn't scored tonight. Until now. Dorton, Isaiah-Joe on the push. Aaron Wiggins gets it to go. Such a problem in games one and two, especially. Stephon Castle had 20 of them in the first two games. Return of Fox to help. 7-12, no SBA at all in this fourth quarter so far. Wiggins hits the two. 18-point game. And Mitch Johnson will stop it here. Still no SGA with the number at 18. A lob to Holgren. Goes up and gets it. Cornett. Stops them. 13-2 for the Thunder. Saw Wemby in the back there. Lob to Cornett. And Mitch Johnson right there with Harper to take one from this. Cross-team to put some in front of it. I'm going to go get me a blessing after seeing Cornett today. Isaiah-Joe. Splash down to three. Five of 32 from distance. This hasn't been their night. 15% from three. Fox on the attack. Off the window and one. The NBA coverage continues. Benches starting to empty. The guys who have not played. Nikola Topic. First two men in there. Isaiah-Joe with the attack. Fly back to Oklahoma City after the game tonight. Get some rest. And then the other key story will be the injury situation with J-Dub. Jalen Williams missing another game with a hamstring. He's only finished as Johnson thinks of that. He's not been able to return. It's the entirety of the second round series. Well, we know both of these organizations very notorious in terms of perverting players when they've had injuries, so. And return to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999. Then they will be playing a much better job. Now Wiggins. Terrence Williams back the other way. And Topic will lay it in. For the Spurs as they beat the Knicks. Closing that out at the Garden. Kelly Olenek. Williams inside. It has been a resounding response to San Antonio in Game 4. Best of seven. Now a best of three. To see who's the champion in the West. All right, Victor. You said before the game we're going to find out what we're made of. What did you find out after a win like this? I mean, we're not surprised. The aggression that you showed from the start, though, including a halftime buzzer beater. What felt different for you personally? What was I thinking about? What felt different for you tonight? It was the same. We just had to figure out how to find answers for ourselves. And then the defensive effort, though. Holding this team to 82 points. What did it take to execute at that level all night long? A lot of film. I think all of us did pretty much as much film in the last 24 to 48 hours as it's possible. Thank you, Victor. We'll see you in Opaque.
