The Spurs face their first win-or-go-home game of the Victor Wembanyama era at home tonight in Game 6

Victor Wembanyama walked past reporters following his rough performance in Game 5.

Oklahoma City turned to Alex Caruso, Cason Wallace and Jared McCain to claw its way back to the top against San Antonio.

The Oklahoma City Thunder overwhelmed the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals to take a 3-2 series lead.

The New York Knicks are playing in their first NBA Finals in 27 years, where they'll meet either the Oklahoma City Thunder or San Antonio Spurs.

The Spurs turned in a disappointed performance in OKC on Tuesday night.

After Victor Wembanyama was held to 20 points in the Spurs' loss to the Thunder on Tuesday night, coach Mitch Johnson said "we're going to need to" get him going if San Antonio is to stave off elimination in Game 6.

Since coach Mark Daigneault stepped foot in Oklahoma City, this team has always been the sum of its parts.

Alex Caruso sparked another big effort from the bench Tuesday night. Caruso scored 22 points and was 4 of 8 on 3-pointers to help Oklahoma City — down two starters — to a 127-114 victory over San Antonio in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals. The bench rotation wasn't the same for the Thunder in Game 5; Jared McCain moved into the starting lineup and scored 20 points.

All or nothing now.

Game 6 is Thursday in San Antonio. If there's a Game 7, it'll be back in Oklahoma City on Saturday.

Mitch Johnson said the officials "just didn't see me" as he was trying to argue the clear erroneous call on Tuesday night.

The Thunder rode another great game from their role players to a decisive 127-114 win over the Spurs to take a 3-2 series lead.

It's been a very simple formula for the San Antonio Spurs in these Western Conference finals. When Victor Wembanyama has been the best player on the floor, they win. Wembanyama, who has had 41-point and 33-point outings in winning efforts during the series, never seemed to get fully rolling and the Spurs lost 127-114.

The Spurs can take control of the series with a win tonight
