ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- The Oklahoma City Thunder lead the Western Conference finals series 3-2 against the San Antonio Spurs and have the opportunity to close out the series in Game 6 on Thursday.
- Historically, teams winning Game 5 in a tied 2-2 series go on to win the series 82% of the time, and the Thunder hold a 7-1 record when leading 3-2 since relocating to Oklahoma City.
- A Thunder victory would send them to their second consecutive NBA Finals and make Shai Gilgeous-Alexander the sixth player to win MVP and reach the Finals in back-to-back seasons.
- The Spurs have struggled historically when trailing 3-2, holding a 1-13 comeback record and have yet to face elimination this postseason despite a 2-0 record when trailing a series.
- The upcoming Game 6 will determine if the Thunder advance or if the Spurs extend the series to a decisive Game 7.
