OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) --- Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs started the
Western Conference finals with a win in Oklahoma City, then ended the series
the same way.
The champions are dethroned. Wembanyama and the Spurs are headed to the NBA
Finals.
Wembanyama scored 22 points, Julian Champagnie got 18 of his 20 off of
3-pointers and the Spurs beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 111-103 on Saturday
night --- bucking heavy odds to win a Game 7 on the road.
Stephon Castle scored 16 points and De'Aaron Fox had 15. Dylan Harper added 12
and Keldon Johnson and Devin Vassell each finished with 11 for the Spurs, who
are headed to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2014.
They will host the New York Knicks in Game 1 on Wednesday night.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 35 points, but for the eighth
consecutive season the NBA will have a new champion.
