Hartenstein’s bruising defense slows Wembanyama as OKC ties the series
OKC edged San Antonio 122-113 to even the Western Conference finals at 1-1, with Isaiah Hartenstein’s physical defense on Victor Wembanyama disrupting the rookie after Game 1 and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander delivering again; a hair-pulling incident by Hartenstein on Stephon Castle drew scrutiny, while Dylan Harper’s hamstring and Castle’s 20 turnovers underline San Antonio’s lineup issues as the series heads to Game 3.
