San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell scored a playoff career-high 22 points on Wednesday night in a 122-113 Game 2 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. He finished as San Antonio's second-leading scorer behind Stephon Castle, going 7-for-14 from the field, including 6-for-12 from beyond the arc. Vassell pulled down four rebounds and added one assist and one block. Injuries have begun to affect the Spurs' lineup, and this might not be the only time in the Western Conference Finals when Vassell takes on a larger offensive role. He has averaged 13.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.2 steals across 34.2 minutes per game in the playoffs.

San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle scored a team-high 25 points with a 10-for-17 record from the field in Wednesday's 122-113 Game 2 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. He also fished out eight assists and had five rebounds and one steal, but Castle's ball-handling was horrible for a second consecutive game. On Wednesday night, Castle committed nine turnovers, bringing his total to 20 in the series. Against the Thunder, the 21-year-old sophomore has also struggled to make three-pointers, going 1-for-6 from deep in each game. With both De'Aaron Fox (ankle) and Dylan Harper (leg) ailing, the backcourt relies heavily on Castle, and he must cut down on his turnovers to be more impactful.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama produced another high-level all-around performance in Game 2 against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday, finishing a 122-113 loss with 21 points, 17 rebounds, six assists, one steal, and four blocks. He went 3-for-7 from deep and made exactly half of 16 field-goal attempts, collecting his eighth postseason double-double. Two games into the Western Conference Finals, Wembanyama is averaging some mind-boggling numbers. He has notched 31.0 points, 20.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 3.5 blocks, and 1.0 steals per game. The French phenom has performed exceptionally well on the road and could put up even bigger numbers in more comfortable settings during Games 3 and 4 on home court.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein recorded his second double-double of the postseason in Wednesday's 122-113 win over the San Antonio Spurs, scoring 10 points and grabbing 13 rebounds. The 28-year-old big man struggled in Game 1, logging only 12 minutes, but he got back on track on Wednesday night. Hartenstein's playing time went up to 27 minutes, and his efforts included three assists. He grabbed eight boards on the offensive end alone and finished with a 4-for-8 effort from the field. Despite his rough Game 1 outing, Hartenstein had been a solid contributor for the Thunder in the playoffs, averaging 8.1 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.9 blocks, and 1.1 steals.
