The San Antonio Spurs stunned Oklahoma City in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, winning 122-115 in double overtime at Paycom Center despite missing De’Aaron Fox. Victor Wembanyama delivered one of the postseason’s defining performances with 41 points and a career-high 24 rebounds, while rookie Dylan Harper filled the stat sheet with 24 points, 11 rebounds and seven steals.

Oklahoma City now faces its first playoff adversity after opening the postseason 8-0, but the Thunder have historically responded well after losses and will lean heavily on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren to even the series before it shifts to San Antonio.
