Victor Wembanyama insisted the San Antonio Spurs still have work to do after a 111-103 Game 7 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder sent the team to the NBA Finals, where the Spurs now face the New York Knicks for the championship.
The French centre delivered 22 points and a complete performance as San Antonio removed last season’s champions from contention, with Wembanyama stressing the group’s ambition after the Western Conference finals triumph. The Spurs have now ended Oklahoma City’s title defence and extended a dominant head‑to‑head record this season.
Across the seven-game Western Conference series, Wembanyama produced numbers never before seen in league history. The forward became the first NBA player to reach at least 150 points, 75 rebounds,
50 made free throws, 15 three-pointers, 15 blocks and 10 steals across any seven-game stretch, in either regular season or playoffs.
Wembanyama made clear that removing the defending champions is not the final target for San Antonio. "We want four more [wins], Wembanyama said. We're not done. This feeling, I can't explain it. It's so powerful. " That message sets the tone as the Spurs move on to face the Knicks.
Game 7 underlined how the Spurs’ success stretches beyond one player. Julian Champagnie added 20 points, while Stephon Castle scored 16 and De'Aaron Fox contributed 15. That balanced scoring backed Wembanyama’s influence at both ends, helping San Antonio control key stretches of a tense deciding game.

Victor Wembanyama, San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder storylines
The defeat created an unwanted piece of history for the Thunder. Oklahoma City have now lost eight games against San Antonio this season, across regular season and playoffs, becoming the first team to suffer eight defeats to a single opponent while still winning at least 70 games against all other teams.
Thunder coach Mark Daigneault reflected on the setback and stressed long-term learning. "You have to grow from every experience, including the tough ones, Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said. It's the NBAthere are tough ones. We can also be really disappointed. There's nobody that we don't think we can beat, respectfully. "
On the Spurs’ side, coach Mitch Johnson pointed to belief built months earlier. "Back in October, we knew we had a chance to be pretty good, Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. The players did what they've been doing all year, and they met the biggest moment. " That view reflects a season-long rise rather than a sudden surge.
San Antonio now turn attention to the New York Knicks and a chance to complete the journey with four more wins, carrying Wembanyama’s historic production, strong support scoring and growing confidence from a record season series against Oklahoma City into the NBA Finals stage.
