Stephon Castle, De'Aaron Fox, and Dylan Harper took the spotlight in the sixth game and led San Antonio Spurs to an offensive display that ended in the elimination of Minnesota Timberwolves. The Texan team won 139-109 and closed out the NBA 2026 Western Conference Playoffs series to now face the Oklahoma City Thunder in the conference finals.

Castle was the standout of the night with 32 points, along with 11 rebounds and six assists, leading a collective performance where the Spurs' perimeter devastated Minnesota. Fox added 21 points with an outstanding 8 for 10 shooting from the field, while Harper contributed 15 points with a 6 for 8 shooting accuracy. The three of them set the pace from the beginning and proved decisive in the most emphatic victory of the series.

San Antonio's offensive dominance was also reflected in the team's collective numbers. The Spurs achieved the franchise's third-highest playoff score in history and also set a record in this postseason with 18 converted three-pointers.

The trio of guards' production was monumental even before the final quarter. By the end of the third period, Castle, Fox, and Harper accounted for 58.2% of the team's points, shooting a spectacular 23 for 30 from the field and 9 for 12 from the three-point line. They added 15 assists, turning every Spurs possession into an unsolvable problem for Minnesota.

Castle once again demonstrated why he has become one of the great revelations of these playoffs. His ability to attack the basket, punish from outside, and create plays made a difference throughout the night. Fox, on the other hand, controlled the game's pace with great efficiency, while Harper provided energy and accuracy whenever he had space.

San Antonio's offensive onslaught left Minnesota unanswered, as they never found a way to halt the back-and-forth exchanges or contain the opponents' transitions.

Next Stop: Oklahoma City

With the series closed, the Spurs are already thinking about the Western Conference finals, where they will face the Oklahoma City Thunder. The first game of the series will take place on Monday at the Paycom Center.
