San Antonio is moving on to the 2026 NBA Finals. The Spurs survived an epic slugfest in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals, beating the Oklahoma City Thunder 111-103 on Sunday (PH time) at Paycom Center to secure a championship showdown with the New York Knicks.

Victor Wembanyama delivered in the biggest game of his career, scoring 22 points and grabbing 7 rebounds in the series decider. Julian Champagnie also stepped up in Game 7, scoring 20 points on 6-for-10 shooting from deep.

Stephon Castle added 16 points for the Spurs, who entered the fourth quarter with an 80-77 lead. They showed their composure down the stretch, extending their lead to double digits in the final period before surviving a late rally from OKC to capture the Game 7 victory.

With the win, San Antonio returned to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2014. Game 1 will start on Thursday.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 35 points for the Thunder, who fell short in their bid to win back-to-back NBA championships.
