National Basketball Association Playoff Game Capsules Jun 5th 2012, 06:31 Chicago, IL –  The Oklahoma City Thunder weathered a late San Antonio Spurs storm and are a win away from reaching the franchise's first NBA Finals since 1996. James Harden netted 12 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter and nailed a game-deciding three-pointer in the final minute as the Thunder hung on for a 108-103 win over the Spurs in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals. Kevin Durant scored 22 of his 27 points in the second half while Russell Westbrook added 23 points and 12 assists for the Thunder, who took a 3-2 series lead and can close out the Spurs in Game 6 on Wednesday in Oklahoma City, a place they haven't lost this postseason. The Thunder tallied 28 points on 21 San Antonio turnovers. Manu Ginobili had a chance to tie the contest with 4.9 seconds remaining, but his three-pointer from the left wing was off the mark. Inserted into the Spurs' starting lineup for the first time this postseason, Ginobili poured in a game-high 34 points. For the first time in this conference final, the home team failed to hold serve. Just a week ago the Spurs looked unbeatable and hadn't lost in 50 days. But on the heels of their 20-game winning streak, the Spurs lost their third straight game for the first time all season.
