The San Antonio Spurs arrive in Oklahoma City with a 2-0 series lead and a 20-game winning streak. Will they be able to extend both or will the Thunder start to make this a series?
The San Antonio Spurs roll into Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals with a 2-0 series lead against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Tony Parker led the Spurs with 34 points in Game 2's victory, while Manu Ginobili came up with 20 points off the bench.
The Thunder did make Game 2 competitive during the fourth quarter, cutting a double-digit deficit to just six points before ultimately losing, 120-111. While Kevin Durant and James Harden combined for 61 points and Russell Westbrook added 27, Oklahoma City will need a better performance from Derek Fisher this time. He was just 2-of-11 from the field.
San Antonio has a 20-game winning streak on the line. Will they have a 21-game streak and a 3-0 series lead on Thursday night?
