It’s one of the best moments in sports — Game 7.
The Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs face off Saturday in Game 7 of the Western Conference finals. The winner earns a spot in the 2026 NBA Finals against the New York Knicks.
San Antonio forced the winner-take-all meeting with a dominant 118-91 victory Thursday. The Spurs’ 27-point win marked their largest when facing elimination in franchise history, according to ESPN Research.
