Thunder bench fuels OKC's Game 3 win to grab 2-1 lead over Spurs

OKC’s bench carried the load in Game 3, outscoring San Antonio’s reserves 76-23 as Jared McCain dropped a playoff-career-high 24 points and Jaylin Williams added 18 in a 123-108 Thunder win to take a 2-1 series lead in the West Finals. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander contributed 26 points and 12 assists with steady free-throw shooting, while Jalen Williams sat out with a hamstring reinjury and De’Aaron Fox returned for the Spurs. OKC limited Wembanyama to 26 points and 10 in the paint with multiple defenders, and the Thunder’s depth once again proved decisive ahead of Game 4 in San Antonio.
