Western Conference Quarter Finals: Spurs fend off Thunder after overcoming 8-PT hole in third quarter, 118-124 (4-1).

Brandon Ingram took charge of his moment.

Brandon Ingram had the play of this series, swiping the ball from a herculean Paul George (48 points) in the final minutes, pulling up on the fast break to drain the go-ahead 3PTer.

The Spurs would win 118-124, as OKC would tirelessly foul, not going down without a fight.

The San Antonio faithful were on edge throughout the second half, especially when its team wobbled during an 8-PT swing by the Thunder. Overcoming it, the Spurs were able to regain a small lead that would just barely hold courtesy of sharpshooting from T.J. Warren (who had a poor first half). Patty Mills also had his chance to shine, draining a cross-over 3PTer past Russell Westbrook out of a timeout to eclipse 100 points for the Spurs, having been up 95-99 prior. The Thunder had some ill-advised fouls in crunch time, giving T.J. Warren three shots at the line (he made all 3) which put the game out of reach.

PG-13 had the best performance of this series.

In defeat, OKC shot 57% to San Antone's 48%, with the Spurs making just 12 from deep. The Thunder missed seven free throws, and narrowly won the glass 41-33 as San Antonio closed the gap there. Only sixteen assists by the Thunder, as Paul George became a one-man army despite OKC's final made shot coming from Westbrook (24 points). PG-13 also had ten rebounds, going 18/28 overall in a masterful performance that will be remembered. Steven Adams hoisted down 13 rebounds with 8 points.

The Spurs were boosted by 13 points from Kyle O'Quinn with 4 blocks, going 6/6. Dejounte Murray had 18 points with 2 steals. Avery Bradley had a quiet 9 points but dished 6 assists. Brandon Ingram powered through the fatigue of this tough, physical series with 22 points, 3 steals and 3 blocks. Patty Mills had 22 points behind him, making five from long range. T.J. Warren did foul out, trying to slow down George, but scored 15 points and those two clutch pull-up 3PTers. Skal Labissiere had a solid 12 points with 8 rebounds, and Dragan Bender scored 11 points.
