- San Antonio Spurs clinched the Western Conference semifinals with a 139‑109 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 6, completing a 4‑2 series win.
- Stephon Castle led the Spurs with a game‑high 32 points, pulling down 11 rebounds and dishing six assists, becoming the fifth Spurs player to record at least 30 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in a clinching game, joining Manu Ginobili, Tim Duncan, David Robinson and George Gervin.
- De’Aaron Fox added 21 points on 8‑of‑10 shooting, becoming the first Spurs player since Kawhi Leonard (2017) to score at least 20 points on 80 % field‑goal shooting in a postseason game.
- Dylan Harper contributed 15 points on 6‑of‑8 shooting, and the backcourt trio (Castle, Fox, Harper) combined for 58.2 % of the team’s scoring and nine of the Spurs’ postseason‑record 18 three‑pointers.
- Victor Wembanyama recorded 19 points, six rebounds and three blocks, joining David Robinson as the only player since 1974 to amass at least 200 points, 100 rebounds and 40 blocks in his first ten career playoff games.
- San Antonio Spurs advance to the Western Conference finals for the first time since 2017, where they will meet the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 at Paycom Center on Monday.
Why it matters: Spurs’ dominant win secures a conference‑final berth, giving San Antonio a chance to challenge the Thunder while the Timberwolves’ season ends, and it highlights a new scoring axis—Castle, Fox and Harper—that could reshape the Spurs’ offensive identity beyond reliance on Wembanyama.
