Victor Wembanyama dominated for the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 over the Oklahoma City Thunder, although De'Aaron Fox playing through injury shouldn't be overlooked.

The San Antonio Spurs evened up their Western Conference Finals series on Sunday night, beating the Oklahoma City Thunder, 103-82.

As the New York Knicks dominate the Cleveland Cavaliers, up 3-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals, the West is a slugfest, with the Spurs and Thunder splitting the first two games in OKC, before splitting once again as the series shifted to San Antonio.

In Game 3, the Spurs came out swinging but were unable to finish the job. In Game 4, they got off to a hot start, up by nine points after one frame, but were able to hang on, winning in dominating fashion.

For lack of a better term, the Spurs were simply at their best in Game 4. Victor Wembanyama led the way with 33 points, eight rebounds, and three blocks, making a 43-point buzzer beater before halftime, although it was far from the Wemby show.

After the Spurs' bench was embarrassed in the first three games of the series, they finally got the memo, scoring 30 points, led by seven from Dylan Harper. The Thunder, meanwhile, only got 34 points from their second unit (which is low for them!), with Jared McCain, Alex Caruso, and Jaylin Williams all slowing down after an excellent Game 3.

In Game 3, which saw the Spurs lose 123-108, San Antonio only shot 31 percent from deep, as opposed to a 44 percent effort from the Thunder. On their heels in a must-win Game 4, the Spurs posted an unimpressive 27 percent team mark from deep, but were able to hold OKC to only 18 percent.

While the Thunder were clearly the better team in the last two games, the Spurs came out of the gate showing off why they went 4-1 against OKC in the regular season. If this version of the Spurs comes out in Game 5 on Tuesday, then fans could be in for an upset in the Conference Finals.

Overlooked in the stat sheet but nonetheless incredibly important was the showing from De'Aaron Fox. Listed as questionable with an ankle injury, Fox looked unsteady at times, but finished with a well-rounded 12 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, and two "stocks." One of the steadiest veterans on the team, he didn't dominate, but showed that he can be a solid player for the Spurs when they need him most.

Heading into Game 5, don't expect the Thunder to be as passive, but expect the Spurs to ride their new momentum. The home team has been the favorite in every game so far in this series, and that probably won't change as the Spurs head back to Oklahoma City for Tuesday's showing.
