The San Antonio Spurs entered Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals with their backs against the wall, trailing the reigning NBA-champion Oklahoma City Thunder 3-2 in the series.
However, the Spurs responded in a big way on their home court — notching a dominant 118-91 victory over the Thunder at San Antonio’s Frost Bank Center. Victor Wembanyama led the way with 28 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks as the Spurs forced a Game 7 back in Oklahoma City.
This Game 6 matchup drew some impressive TV viewership numbers on NBC/Peacock, according to an announcement from the network on Monday.
With 11.6 million total viewers, Game 6 was the most-watched game of the 2025-26 NBA season and the most-watched conference finals Game 6 since 2002.

Wembanyama led the way for San Antonio with 22 points and seven rebounds, while reigning back-to-back league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a game-high 35 points to go along with his nine assists.
