The NBA announced that Wemby joined Hall of Famers Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Hakeem Olajuwon as the only players to average at least 30 points and 13 rebounds through the first four games of a Conference Finals series.

Victor Wembanyama finished with 33 points, eight rebounds, five assists, two steals, three blocks and three made threes — including a half-court buzzer beater to end the first half — as the Spurs routed the Thunder to level up the Western Conference Finals.
It was a statement win for the Spurs, who were determined to turn the tide after dropping back-to-back games earlier in the series. Unlike in Game 3 when they blew a 15-0 early lead, the Spurs held onto their leads for most of Game 4 and didn’t have any slip-ups in their intensity level — especially on the defensive end. According to ESPN Research, the Spurs became the first time since April 2022 to hold the Thunder to less tahn 90 points in any game — regular season or playoffs.
The series will now shift back to Oklahoma City for Game 5. History suggests that the winner of Game 5 of a tied 2-2 series prevails 84.1% of the time. As such, the winner of the West Finals could very well be determined on Tuesday.
Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson, however, does not view Game 5 as a do-or-die, as he believes his team is capable of winning Games 6 and 7 to advance to the NBA Finals.
“Our competitive response all year has been pretty good, and he’s been at the forefront of that more than not,” Johnson said after the Game 4 win.
“And I think tonight he felt – not speaking for him – but from my perspective an obligation to set a tone for us in a variety of ways and I think the aggressiveness was a reflection of that.”
The winner of the Spurs vs Thunder series will most likely set up an NBA Finals clash against the New York Knicks, who can close out the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday.
