The San Antonio Spurs are back in the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999, and they got there the hard way — beating the Oklahoma City Thunder 4-3 in a Western Conference Finals that went the distance. Victor Wembanyama was named Conference Finals MVP.
Across the seven games he averaged 27.3 points, 10.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.7 blocks and 1.4 steals in 37.7 minutes, shooting about 48% from the field and 40% from three.

The opener set the tone
Game 1 was the masterpiece: 41 points and 24 rebounds across two overtimes in a 122-115 win, the kind of line that only a handful of players in league history have ever posted in a playoff game. It told the Thunder this series would run through him.
The defense never dipped
The scoring fluctuated; the rim protection did not. Wembanyama blocked at least one shot in every game and posted three or more blocks five times. That floor mattered most in the blowout wins — Game 4 (+21) and Game 6 (+27) — where his presence at the rim turned stops into runs.
The shooting swing
The pattern of the series was simple: when his jumper fell, the Spurs won big. He shot 11-of-22 in Game 4 and 4-of-9 from three in Game 6 — both routs. The losses lined up with his coldest nights, including a 4-of-15 Game 5. Even in the defeats he was productive — a 21-17-6 line with four blocks in Game 2 — but the margin between a good Wemby night and a great one was the margin of the series.
Closing it out
Game 7 was the efficient version: 22 points and 7 rebounds in a controlled 111-103 win to send San Antonio through. Next up is the rematch the league wanted — the Spurs against the New York Knicks, a replay of 1999. We’ll track every game of it on the Finals hub.
