The San Antonio Spurs beat the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 6 on Sunday night, 118-91, evening up the series and forcing a Game 7 on Saturday. The Spurs, after losing Game 5 in disappointing fashion, had their back against the wall and responded perfectly.

After Game 5, Victor Wembanyama skipped post-game media availability, drawing ire from the NBA and media members who were planning on interviewing him. It turns out that was probably the right call, as he finished with 28 points, ten rebounds, and three blocks, taking total control of the game after getting his mind right.

The Spurs shot a solid 36.6 percent from 3-point range, while holding the Thunder to 25 percent from behind the arc. If the Spurs can bring this version of themselves to OKC on Saturday, they are all but certain to punch their ticket to the NBA Finals.

So far in this series, stopping momentum has been the name of the game, and both teams have been able to do that, either by stopping runs in the middle of games or by bouncing back after tough losses.

With the win on Thursday, the momentum has swung in San Antonio's favor. The Thunder, to their credit, have answered "the call" all season long, and will be boosted by their home crowd on Saturday. However, it would seem that the Spurs are firmly in control.

The Spurs were led by Wembanyama's 28 points, and Dylan Harper and Stephon Castle chipped in 18 and 17 each. The Thunder, meanwhile, were led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 15 points. Not a single player scored over 20 for the Thunder for the first time this series.

Critically, the Spurs limited the Thunder's bench. Jaylin Williams, Alex Caruso, and Jared McCain took turns lighting the Spurs up earlier in this series, but were held to a combined 24 points in a pivotal Game 6.

Aside from Harper, the Spurs' bench didn't contribute much on offense, but with how the series has gone so far, stopping OKC's bench is just as important as getting the Spurs' second unit going.

The Western Conference Finals are looked at by many as the "real" Finals, and the Spurs will have a chance to prove that they aren't only ahead of schedule, but that they are the best team in the NBA. All eyes should be looking towards Game 7, with a date with the New York Knicks on the line.
