Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 26 points and 12 assists, and the Oklahoma City Thunder climbed out of a 15-point hole minutes into the game to beat the San Antonio Spurs 123-108 on Friday night and take a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference final.

Jared McCain had 24 points and Jaylin Williams added 18 for Oklahoma City, which played without Jalen Williams (left hamstring soreness).

Oklahoma City’s bench outscored San Antonio’s 76-23, including 15 points by Alex Caruso.

Victor Wembanyama scored 24 points for San Antonio, Devin Vassell added 20 and De'Aaron Fox had 15 in his series debut.

The Thunder have won two straight after the Spurs' double-overtime victory in Game 1. Game 4 is Sunday.

Fox (sprained right ankle) and Dylan Harper (right adductor soreness) were cleared to play 45 minutes prior to tipoff.

Fox's return sparked a historic start.

The Spurs raced to a 15-0 lead, the longest run to open a game in the conference finals since the play-by-play era began in 1997.

The Thunder went on a 13-2 run when Wembanyama went to the bench and closed the first quarter trailing 31-26.
