Defending Champions, OKC planning on being the first team to win the title back to back since Golden State Warriors in 2017 and 2018
Spurs on the other hand are a young and hungry team. Their front man, Victor Wembanyama has reached heights the league hasn't seen from a third year player in years. He came second in the MVP voting and he's out to prove why he should have been the MVP
Two teams with young players at their core. Shai Gilgeous Alexander who just wan back to back MVP leading his team against, The Alien who just became the first Unanimous Defensive Player of the year in NBA history.
The Equalizer

Spurs Bench and OKC's injury
One of the most important element that propelled this win was the Spurs bench. In Game 3, the Spurs' bench was outscored 76-23 but Game 4 was different. Spurs reserves scored 30 points while also holding the Thunder reserves to 34 points
Another differential factor in Game 4 was the absence of Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell due to injuries. Williams playmaking ability was missed which made it more difficult for Shai Gilgeous Alexander to get buckets.
