The Oklahoma City Thunder needed to respond after getting blown out by the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4, and they came home with incredible determination and gained the advantage in the series with a 127-114 triumph in the pivotal fifth game of the series.

It is now up to Victor Wembanyama , Devin Vassell , De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper to respond on their home court if they want to force a decisive seventh game of the Western Conference Finals. While Wembanyama is the key to head coach Mitch Johnson's team, he can't do it alone. He needs the assistance of his supporting cast.

Wembanyama was not nearly as effective in Game 5 as he was held to 20 points, 6 rebounds, 3 blocks and 1 assist. Isaiah Hartenstein was all over Wembanyama and contested every shot, rebound and pass. If the Thunder's big man can come close to that performance on the road in Game 6, the Thunder will have an excellent chance of surviving and advancing.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ended up with 32 points and 9 assists, but he started very slowly with multiple turnovers and missing his first four shots of the game. He clearly had the support of his teammates as Alex Caruso came off the bench to score 22 points. He made 4 of 8 shots from beyond the arc and handed out six assists.

Chet Holmgren added 16 points, and he hit his first three shots to send the message that he would be a going concern after a poor effort in Game 4. Jared McCain also had a 20-point effort, and that allowed head coach Mark Daigneault to make sure than none of his players was on the court for more than 37 minutes.

While both teams have shown they can win on the road, home court has been decisive in the last two games. The Spurs were on fire in Game 4 , a game they needed to square the series. It started in the first quarter with a 28-19 edge and the Spurs would go on to win every quarter in picking up the 103-82 victory.

The Thunder was badly outplayed in that game, but they quickly put the loss behind them and played with the relentlessness that Daigneault and the team's fans are used to seeing. The Thunder played with more of an attacking mindset than they did in Game 4 and they were able to build an 11-point lead at halftime and keep the Spurs at arm's length through the majority of the second half.

Gilgeous-Alexander is always going to get his shots and while he struggled in the opening minutes, he got a big assist when Holmgren was able to hit his early shots and Hartenstein was able to use his size and strength to keep Wembanyama from dominating.

Wemby has looked explosive in the Spurs victories in the series, but somewhat disappointing in the losses. Former San Antonio head coach Gregg Popovich is likely to give the 7-4 center something of a pregame pep talk in the hope of bringing out his best effort once again.

Thunder vs. Spurs Game 6 Prediction and Pick

The Thunder knows that a meeting with the red-hot New York Knicks is ahead in the NBA Finals if they can win Game 6 in San Antonio or Game 7 at home. The defending NBA champions have been an excellent road team throughout the season, going 30-10 in the regular season and 5-1 in the postseason.

The Thunder is not going to get overwhelmed playing in San Antonio. They did not have a good effort in Game 4, but it is very unlikely that they will get blown out on the road again. As long as Gilgeous-Alexander gets some help from Holmgren, Hartenstein and Caruso, the Thunder will be in this game for 48 minutes.

However, holding off the Spurs in the fourth quarter will be the biggest issue. Wembanyama is not afraid of the big moment and he will not hesitate to pass the ball to Vassell, Fox, Castle or Harper if they are open. This series comes down to a seventh game, and the Spurs take charge in the last five minutes and earn the victory.

Final Thunder-Spurs Game 6 Prediction & Pick: San Antonio Spurs -3.5 (-105); OVER 218.5 (-110).
