Oklahoma wins Game 2 against San Antonio and will head to Texas with the series tied at a high level
Donovan Mitchell called for calm after the harsh collapse of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first game of the Eastern Finals against the New York Knicks. Despite letting a 22-point lead slip away in the final quarter and falling 115-104 in overtime, the Cleveland star avoided dramatizing the situation. "It's a loss and nothing more. It's not like that loss gives them two or three games," explained Mitchell after the game. "We have an opportunity to come back here in two days and get one back."
The shooting guard finished with 29 points, although he disappeared offensively in the crucial stretch. He did not score in overtime, and his last basket came with more than eight minutes left in the final quarter. Nevertheless, he denied any physical issues and stated that he will review the game footage to understand what happened. "If you let this affect you too much, you won't be ready for Game 2," Mitchell concluded.

Victor Wembanyama once again showed why he is the best defender in the NBA. The Frenchman was Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's worst nightmare in San Antonio Spurs' victory over Oklahoma City Thunder. Despite only finishing with three official blocks, his impact went far beyond the statistics. Wembanyama closed off driving lanes, constantly intimidated near the rim, and forced the MVP to have one of his worst performances in these playoffs.
The most symbolic moment came in the final quarter when he blocked Shai's step-back from mid-range at a critical juncture of the game. Later, in overtime, he answered a basket by the Canadian with a massive three-pointer that once again shifted the dynamics of the match. San Antonio once again confirmed that with Wembanyama controlling the paint, their defense can win games even against the best offenses in the NBA.
