What happened

Down 3-2 to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the San Antonio Spurs staved off elimination with a Game 6 victory to force tonight’s winner-take-all Game 7.

Why it matters

The turning point in the eventual 118-91 victory came late in the third quarter when San Antonio unleashed a 20-0 run, holding Oklahoma City scoreless for nearly eight minutes and forcing them into 14 consecutive missed shots.

Common ground

Thunder star and league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was particularly quiet, scoring a playoff low of just 15 points on 6-of-18 shooting.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
