Stephon Castle led the San Antonio Spurs to a convincing 139-109 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 6. With this win, the Spurs ultimately sealed their spot in the Western Conference finals by clinching the series 4-2.

Following the Game 6, Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson was asked whether this was the best performance of Castle’s young career given the pressure of the moment.

“It was pretty damn good,” Johnson said. “I thought his temperament and disposition led to him having the right approach and playing the right way.”

Castle’s performance also made NBA history, as he surpassed Luka Doncic to become the youngest player ever to record at least 30 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, and 5 made threes in a single game, according to Stathead.

Only a select group of players, such as Magic Johnson, , and Doncic have ever reached this mark in a playoff game, even without factoring in three-pointers.
