Down 15-0 just minutes into Game 3 of the Western Conference finals, Oklahoma City coach Mark Daigneault turned to his bench, which proved pivotal as the Thunder rallied to win 123-108 against the San Antonio Spurs, taking a 2-1 series lead. The Oklahoma City bench scored a record 76 points, accounting for 62% of the team’s scoring, with standout performances from Jared McCain (24 points) and Jaylin Williams (18 points). Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the starters with 26 points, but the bench’s contributions were crucial in overcoming the early deficit. This performance marks a historic achievement, as no team has relied so heavily on bench scoring in a conference finals game in the last 40 years.
