Wembanyama Leads Spurs Past Thunder 111-103 in Okc V Spurs
okc v spurs ended with Victor Wembanyama delivering 22 points and seven rebounds in San Antonio’s 111-103 road win in game seven. The Spurs knocked out the reigning champion Oklahoma City Thunder and moved on to the NBA Finals against the New York Knicks.
Wembanyama At The Center
Wembanyama’s line set the tone. The 226cm forward finished with 22 points and seven rebounds as the Spurs survived the decisive game seven in Oklahoma City and turned a tight road test into a Finals berth.
Tears followed the final buzzer. Wembanyama and his young teammates reacted with the kind of release that comes only after ending a series against the reigning champions, with the road setting making the result harder to take than a home closeout.
Thunder Needed More
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander carried Oklahoma City with 35 points in 43 minutes, but the Thunder could not match San Antonio’s balance. Chet Holmgren managed four points on just two field goal attempts in 33 minutes, and the pressure on the Thunder’s second option never eased.
That matchup had carried extra edge because Holmgren and Wembanyama had faced each other before in FIBA competition as juniors. In this game, the Spurs got the cleaner end of it, while Oklahoma City also played without Jalen Williams because of a hamstring injury and Ajay Mitchell because of a calf issue.
Spurs Get Help Across The Board
Wembanyama was not carrying the load alone. De'Aaron Fox, Julian Champagne, Stephon Castle, Devin Vassell, Dylan Harper and Keldon Johnson all scored in double digits for San Antonio, giving the Spurs enough scoring support to hold the edge through the final stretch.
The result sends San Antonio into the NBA Finals against the New York Knicks, with the win ending Oklahoma City’s run as reigning champions. Game seven on the road was the separator, and the Spurs used it to move one round farther than the team they eliminated.
