The San Antonio Spurs won the second game of their series against the Oklahoma City Thunder, 112-77, in what resembled a badly-matched collegiate game. The Spurs now lead the series 2-0 and the two teams will meet again at 5:30 p.m. PDT on Sunday, May 25.

This was not a pretty sight for the visitors, who shot only 39.3% from the floor and 30% from the charity stripe, compared to 50% and a sizzling 91.3%, respectively, for San Antonio. With a strong defense of their own, and an impaired defense from the Thunder — still without Serge Ibaka — the Spurs scored almost at will, dominating in all quarters excepting the first where they trailed 26-24; in that period the Thunder began with a 5-0 run. In the second period San Antonio led 34-18 and this included a 25-8 run.

Leading the effort for OKC were Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook with 15 points each; Westbrook also had 5 assists. Jeremy Lamb had 13 points, Steve Adams 9 with 8 rebounds and Reggie Jackson 8 with 4 assists.

For San Antonio, Tony Parker led with 22 points and Denny Green was close behind with 21. Tim Duncan had 14 with 12 boards, Manu Ginobili had 11 and Tiago Splitter had 9 with 10 rebounds.
