Summary

Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs evened the Western Conference Finals with a Game 4 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, and the series may have shifted. Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize break down Wemby’s 33-point, 8-rebound, 5-assist, 3-block performance, San Antonio’s elite ball pressure on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and whether the Spurs have found the defensive formula to beat OKC. Then, the New York Knicks move one win away from their first NBA Finals appearance since 1999 after another dominant win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. With 10 straight playoff wins and a dominant run through the East, are the Knicks now the team to beat? Plus, the crew runs through Winners and Losers, including Scottie Barnes and Landry Shamet, and makes a prediction for Knicks-Cavs as Cleveland tries to avoid the sweep. Subscribe to Locked On NBA Daily for daily NBA playoff coverage, analysis and debate.

0:03.9	The Spurs, even the Western Conference Finals in Wemby,
0:06.5	may have changed the whole series with a defensive statement against the Thunder.
0:10.4	Then the Knicks keep rolling through the east, are they officially the team to beat?
0:13.9	Plus, winners and losers and a bold prediction,
0:16.7	Locked on NBA Daily starts now.

0:40.2	Hello and welcome to Lockdown NBA Daily. I'm Wes Goldberg. That's Matt Moore. That's Hayes. We have a jam-packed show for you today. The Knicks are one win away from making the NBA
0:45.0	finals. We're going to talk about our winners and losers from the weekend also, but let's start
0:49.0	with Sunday night's game. The Spurs beat the Thunder in Game 4 to tie the Western Conference
0:52.8	finals at 2-2. Victor Wemm and Yama had 33 points, eight rebounds, five assists, three blocks, while San Antonio
0:58.8	held Oklahoma City to 33% shooting and Shea Gildjus Alexander to just 19 points.
1:04.1	Here's more from Locked-on Thunder.
1:07.6	SGA, he didn't have much help, but I think that the biggest way that you can describe Shea's game today is that the optionality of this team kind of wilted because of the injuries and because of the poor shooting.
1:20.8	Shea still got seven assists.
1:22.0	He had 19 points, four rebounds.
1:24.0	He went 0 for 1 from 3.
1:25.2	And if you take that away from his field goal percentage inside the Yankee shot 50%. But he did have four turnovers. The ball pressure from San Antonio was elite. The physicality from San Antonio was elite. Yeah, they got it with a few non calls, but by and large, they were very disciplined. They stayed in front. They were very aggressive playing into the body of SGA and pressuring the ball. It led to turnovers where he dribbles up slag a couple of times and where he's just out there flustered at times.
1:51.3	So, Matt, was this more than just a response by a Spurs team in essentially what is a must-win game?
1:57.3	You don't want to go down 3-1 against the Thunder.
1:58.8	Or did they actually find a defensive formula against SGA and maybe ultimately even an edge in this series?
