The Oklahoma City Thunder rode a spectacular performance from their second unit to overcome the San Antonio Spurs in Game 3 of their Western Conference Finals series. The reserves outscored the Spurs' bench by a wide margin, providing the spark needed to erase a double-digit deficit and secure a crucial victory.
Key contributions came from several Thunder bench players, who combined for 50 points and brought relentless energy on both ends of the floor. Their efforts offset an off night from the starters and tilted the game in Oklahoma City's favor.
With the win, the Thunder now lead the series 2-1 and head back to Oklahoma City with momentum. The Spurs will need to adjust their game plan to counter the Thunder's depth in Game 4.
