The Oklahoma City Thunder ended their regular season as the NBA’s top team with a record of 64-18. The San Antonio Spurs closely followed with a 62-20 record. They were the only team to consistently challenge the Thunder, defeating them 4-1 in regular-season matchups. In the Western Conference Finals, the Spurs emerged victorious once again, winning the series 4-3. The decisive Game 7 concluded with a 111-103 victory in Oklahoma City on Saturday night, sending the Spurs to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2014. They will compete against the New York Knicks, with the series starting on June 3.
Thunder guard Cason Wallace expressed measured confidence in his postgame interview. “They’re a good team,” he stated. “Beatable team. Obviously, we beat ’em. We just gotta do things better for a longer period of time.” His comments stirred reactions on social media.
One user commented, “Beatable but they beat y’all [expletive] with no postseason experience.” Another added, “4-8 vs the Spurs this year. Enjoy Cancun.” A Spurs supporter highlighted the potential of the young team, noting, “They have no idea how much better the Spurs are going to be year after year after year. Dylan Harper and Carter Bryant are only 20! Stephon Castle 21! Wemby 22! They have no chance in the future.”
It’s important to recognize that the Thunder pushed the series to a Game 7, showcasing how well-matched the teams were. The NBA hasn’t seen consecutive champions since the Golden State Warriors in 2017 and 2018. Consequently, labeling the Spurs as unbeatable is as premature as it would have been to call the Thunder a dynasty last year.
