Spurs Dethrone Thunder 111-103 in Game 7 Western Conference Finals

Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs pulled off a stunning upset on the road, defeating the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder 111-103 in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals on May 31, 2026. The victory sends the Spurs to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2014, ending the Thunder's reign as defending champions.

Wembanyama was magnificent when it mattered most, posting 22 points and 7 rebounds in the decisive Game 7. The young superstar's performance capped an exceptional playoff run for San Antonio, who came into the series as underdogs against the heavily favored Thunder.

A Balanced Scoring Attack

The Spurs' depth proved crucial in the clinching game. Julian Champagnie made 18 of his 20 points from beyond the three-point line, providing crucial spacing and firepower. Stephon Castle added 16 points, De'Aaron Fox contributed 15, and Dylan Harper chipped in 12 points. Role players Keldon Johnson and Devin Vassell each finished with 11 points, showcasing the balanced attack that defined San Antonio's playoff run.

Thunder's Heroic Effort Falls Short

Despite the loss, the Thunder mounted a valiant effort. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led all scorers with 35 points and 9 assists, demonstrating why Oklahoma City had been the top seed. Cason Wallace scored 17 points while Jared McCain and Alex Caruso contributed 12 apiece. However, the defending champions, playing without injured star Jalen Williams due to a hamstring injury, simply couldn't find enough answers down the stretch.

A Game 7 for the Ages

Unlike the previous six games in the series—which had been largely decided by the fourth quarter—Game 7 remained competitive throughout. The Spurs led by as many as 14 points in the first half and 11 in the third quarter, only to see the Thunder mount comebacks both times. Entering the fourth quarter, San Antonio held a slim 80-77 advantage.

The turning point came midway through the final period when Spurs center Luke Kornet delivered a crucial block on Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein at the rim, denying what would have been a fast-break score that could have brought Oklahoma City within four points. The block proved to be the dagger, as the Spurs pulled away decisively in the closing minutes.

Road to the Finals

The Spurs will now face the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals, with Game 1 scheduled for Wednesday night in San Antonio. This marks the first Finals appearance for the franchise since 2014, when they fell to the Miami Heat.

Spurs coach Mitch Johnson praised his team's composure: "The players did what they've been doing all year and they met the biggest moment."

Meanwhile, Thunder coach Mark Daigneault acknowledged the disappointment while looking ahead: "You have to grow from every experience, including the tough ones. We can also be really disappointed. But there's nobody that we don't think we can beat, respectfully."

For the eighth consecutive season, the NBA will crown a new champion, as the Thunder's back-to-back title hopes come to an end. The Spurs' improbable run to the Finals begins now.
