\n

The Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> came into Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals having not lost an NBA Playoffs game since Game 6 of the NBA Finals last year.<\/p>\n

But they hadn\u2019t faced Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs<\/a> yet, and the 7-foot-4 big man finished with a remarkable stat line \u2014 41 points, \u00a024 rebounds , three blocks and 12 made free throws \u2014 in a thrilling, double-overtime victory, 122-115, over the Thunder to set the tone for this series. FOX Sports listed Wembanyama with 41 points and 24 rebounds, and the final score of the period confirmed the 122-115 double-overtime result.<\/p>\n

Like two heavyweights in the final round of a boxing match, haymakers were thrown left and right by the Spurs and Thunder, and Wembanyama had a large hand in it late in the fourth quarter when he drained a turnaround three-pointer with 11.5 seconds left on the clock to give San Antonio a 101-99 lead.<\/p>\n

However, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who was named the league\u2019s Most Valuable Player<\/a> before the start of the series, came through in the clutch on the opposite end. With 3.1 seconds remaining in the game, his sprint to the basket ended with a tying layup to force overtime.<\/p>\n

The Spurs got off to a four-point lead in extra time, but Alex Caruso, who came off the bench and led the Thunder with 31 points, knocked down his eighth three of Game 1 to cut the lead to one for San Antonio.<\/p>\n

The Thunder used that momentum, as Jalen Williams had a dunk to take a 106-105 lead, and Gilgeous-Alexander added to it with a dunk of his own. “Wemby,” though, was at the center of San Antonio\u2019s late-game response on Monday night, and perhaps his most important bucket was a shot from well beyond the arc.<\/p>\n

Wembanyama took the ball from Stephon Castle and added to the guard\u2019s assist total with a 27-foot three near the Oklahoma City logo to tie the game at 108 apiece with 27 seconds left. The Thunder\u2019s bench couldn\u2019t believe it, while the Spurs\u2019 reserves erupted in this back-and-forth duel.<\/p>\n

Williams couldn\u2019t hit a three-pointer on the other end, and despite drawing up a great play, Caruso knocked down Dylan Harper\u2019s attempted alley-oop to Castle with just 0.7 seconds remaining in overtime to keep the score where it was.<\/p>\n

Needing one more extra period, Wembanyama took the game into<\/a> his hands. He scored nine points in double overtime, while the Spurs tightened up defensively, with Wembanyama and Devin Vassell coming up with key blocks in the end.<\/p>\n

Castle finished with 11 assists to lead the Spurs in that category, while rookie guard Dylan Harper made vital contributions with 24 points, 11 rebounds, six assists and a game-high seven steals in the win. The Spurs were doing all this without veteran guard De\u2019Aaron Fox, who they hope will be back for Game 2.<\/p>\n

Williams had 26 points for Oklahoma City, while Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 24 points on 7-of-23 shooting with 12 assists and five steals.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a dominant run for the Thunder up to this point, but if this Game 1 is any indication of how this series will turn out, the Western Conference Finals could have a long and dramatic series ahead.<\/p>\n
