Victor Wembanyama looked different in Game 6. There was the Shaolin robe that the San Antonio star wore to his home arena on Thursday night, an obvious nod to his two-week stay last summer at a Chinese temple that he visited while seeking physical, mental and spiritual growth.

Victor Wembanyama, who has had 41-point and 33-point outings in winning efforts during the series, never seemed to get fully rolling and the Spurs lost 127-114.

In San Antonio's two wins over the Thunder this series, Wembanyama has been transcendent. He didn't reach that level Tuesday night.
