Thunder Vs Spurs Game 7 Set After OKC Blowout Loss
The Thunder vs Spurs Game 7 showdown is officially set after the San Antonio Spurs dominated the Oklahoma City Thunder 118-91 Thursday night, forcing a winner-take-all finale in the Western Conference Finals.
With the series now tied at three games apiece, Oklahoma City's hopes of returning to the NBA Finals will come down to one final game Saturday night at Paycom Center.
The winner of the highly anticipated Thunder vs Spurs Game 7 matchup will advance to face the New York Knicks in the 2026 NBA Finals.
Following the loss, veteran Thunder guard Alex Caruso delivered a simple message about what lies ahead.
"It's win or go home."
Thunder Vs Spurs Game 7 Follows Dominant San Antonio Victory
The Thunder vs Spurs Game 7 became reality after San Antonio controlled nearly every aspect of Game 6.
The decisive turning point came during the third quarter when the Spurs unleashed a devastating 20-0 scoring run.
Oklahoma City managed just 13 points during the entire quarter as the game quickly slipped out of reach.
Leading the way for San Antonio was superstar Victor Wembanyama, who finished with:
28 points
10 rebounds
3 blocked shots
Meanwhile, rookie guard Dylan Harper provided a major spark off the bench with 18 points.
The Spurs shot efficiently throughout the night while consistently disrupting Oklahoma City's offensive rhythm.
Thunder Vs Spurs Game 7 Comes After Offensive Struggles
The normally explosive Oklahoma City offense never found its footing during Game 6.
NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was limited to just 15 points while shooting 6-of-18 from the field.
As a team, the Thunder shot only 37.2 percent from the floor.
The loss marked Oklahoma City's most lopsided defeat of the Western Conference Finals and erased an opportunity to close out the series on the road.
The series results now stand:
Game 1: Spurs 122, Thunder 115 (2OT)
Game 2: Thunder 122, Spurs 113
Game 3: Thunder 123, Spurs 108
Game 4: Spurs 103, Thunder 82
Game 5: Thunder 127, Spurs 114
Game 6: Spurs 118, Thunder 91
