Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs pulled off a strong win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, 103-82, and now, this series is all tied up at 2-2.

In the game, Wembanyama continued his reign as one of the most jaw-dropping talents in the NBA. He clocked 33 points, eight rebounds and five assists in the win, according to NBA stats, but one move is drawing extra attention.

At the end of the second quarter of the game, right as the buzzer went off, Wembanyama sank a half-court shot, and the crowd went nuts. According to the NBA, it's the longest shot of his career.

Of course, Wembanyama didn't do it all alone. Devin Vassell and Stephon Castle each had 13 points for the Spurs. For Oklahoma City, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led with 19 points on 6-of-15 shooting.

It was a strong effort from the Spurs, who controlled the Thunder, resulting in Oklahoma City clocking its lowest scoring output of the entire season. The Thunder's 82 points were the lowest the franchise has scored since December 2021, when the Thunder scored 79 points against the Memphis Grizzlies.

So, Spurs and Thunder fans will get at least two additional games in this series, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see this series go to a Game 7. For now, Game 5 is scheduled for Tuesday in Oklahoma City, and Game 6 will take place Thursday in San Antonio.
