Author: Locked On Podcast Network May 27, 2026 Duration: 30:09
The Oklahoma City Thunder are one win from the NBA Finals after beating the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals. Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize break down Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s control of the game, OKC’s role players stepping up despite injuries, and why the Thunder’s supporting cast and experience may be the difference in the series. Then, the crew looks at Victor Wembanyama being held to a series-low 20 points and what lessons the Spurs can take from Game 5. Did San Antonio’s youth finally show? What does the Jared McCain starting decision tell us? And how close are the Spurs really to breaking through? Plus, Howard Beck’s reporting raises a bigger NBA question: will other teams wait out the Thunder and Spurs, or refuse to accept being behind the league’s next great young powers? Finally, Real Questions on the Cavaliers keeping Kenny Atkinson, whether Cleveland needs another shakeup, and if teams that miss out on Giannis Antetokounmpo should pivot to Kawhi Leonard.
