"I need to find ways to impact the game in many areas," Wembanyama said. "I have a lot of responsibilities, but I'm here for it.
All of us, we're going to have to do things we didn't sign up for."
The victory prevented San Antonio from falling into a 3-1 series deficit as they pursue their first NBA Finals appearance since winning the championship in 2014.
"This was our first deficit in the playoff series. We just responded," Wembanyama added.
"It was nothing amazing. It wasn't magic.
We just did what we needed to do. The series is far from over."
The Thunder are attempting to become the first back-to-back NBA champions since the Golden State Warriors in 2017-2018.
"We've got six more wins before we can rest," Wembanyama said.
The defensive strategy forced 17 total turnovers and allowed San Antonio to log 11 steals.
"I'm not going to get into details, but in general, being more disciplined and just trusting the game plan even more," Wembanyama explained.

The performance restricted Oklahoma City to their lowest scoring output of the current playoff series.
"That's super important," Wembanyama noted.
"We've got good individual defenders, and when we connect, we're able to hold teams to low scoring numbers."
Wembanyama said his long-range buzzer-beater at the end of the second quarter was a deliberate scoring attempt.
"I was just thinking shoot to score," he said. "I wasn't messing around."
