How to watch Thunder vs. Spurs NBA Playoffs Game 3 for free: Start time, livestream
· New York PostThings are all tied up in San Antonio going into Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.
The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the San Antonio Spurs 122–113 in Game 2 even the series up 1-all. Newly crowned league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shook off a quiet Game 1 to contribute 30 points and 9 assists, while veteran Alex Caruso provided a huge 17 points off the bench.
Despite the victory, injuries quickly became the defining story of the game for both sides; the Thunder lost star forward Jalen Williams early to a recurring hamstring injury, and the already short-handed Spurs lost guard Dylan Harper to a leg injury in the second half. Both players are listed as game time descisions tonight.
