Monday’s Game 1 between the Spurs and Thunder was one for the ages.San Antonio controlled much of the game, but Oklahoma City didn’t go out without a serious fight, clawing back to take a 95–94 lead with under two minutes left in regulation. The two sides traded ties and leads, ultimately going to overtime knotted at 101. The Thunder looked destined to pull out a win after a Shai Gilgeous-Alexander dunk extended their lead to three with under a minute left, until Victor Wembanyama let the biggest shot of his young career fly, drilling a deep three with 27 seconds left to tie it, 108–108.The second OT was all Spurs, as Wemby & Co. edged OKC 14–7 in the frame to seal a 122–115 victory in an instant classic. Wembanyama has stacked a number of incredible performances in his first playoff run, but this was his best yet: 41 points, 24 rebounds and three blocks in 49 minutes.The Thunder are resilient defending champions, though, so don’t be surprised to see them get their revenge in Game 2 on Wednesday. San Antonio will also likely be without De’Aaron Fox once again, as he deals with an ankle injury that held him out of the series opener. We’ll have live updates, scores, stats and highlights throughout the game. Follow along below!NBA playoffs: Spurs at Thunder Game 2 live updates, stats, highlights and moreHow we got here: Spurs and Thunder NBA playoff runsThe Thunder will need much more from center Chet Holmgren on both sides of the floor against Victor Wembanyama to pull out a series victory against the Spurs. | Alonzo Adams-Imagn ImagesGame 1 set the stage for what should be an incredible Western Conference finals series—one that would surprise no one if it went to a full seven games.Both teams have been pretty dominant up to this point as well. Monday’s loss was Oklahoma City’s first of the entire postseason, after they dominated the eighth-seeded Suns and fourth-seeded Lakers to open the playoffs.The Spurs had a bit more difficulty, but just barely. They lost one game to the No. 7 Trail Blazers, the game in which Wembanyama left with a concussion, before rebounding to win in five games. They dropped two to the No. 6 Timberwolves—again, Wembanyama’s absence played a major role after he was ejected for a flagrant foul on Naz Reid and San Antonio dropped that game. When Wembanyama has been active and healthy for a full game, Minnesota’s Game 1 win by two points is the only Spurs loss so far.Thunder vs. Suns first-round scoresGame 1: Thunder 119, Suns 84Game 2: Thunder 120, Suns 107Game 3: Thunder 121, Suns 109Game 4: Thunder 131, Suns 122Thunder vs. Lakers second-round scoresGame 1: Thunder 108, Lakers 90Game 2: Thunder 125, Lakers 107Game 3: Thunder 131, Lakers 108Game 4: Thunder 115, Lakers 110The Spurs have had a few hiccups, but have shut the door on their opponents when matters most.Spurs vs. Trail Blazers first-round scoresGame 1: Spurs 111, Trail Blazers 98Game 2: Spurs 103, Trail Blazers 106Game 3: Spurs 120, Trail Blazers 108Game 4: Spurs 114, Trail Blazers 93Game 5: Spurs 114, Trail Blazers 95Spurs vs. Timberwolves second-round scoresGame 1: Spurs 102, Timberwolves 104Game 2: Spurs 133, Timberwolves 95Game 3: Spurs 115, Timberwolves 108Game 4: Spurs 109, Timberwolves 114Game 5: Spurs 126, Timberwolves 97Game 6: Spurs 139, Timberwolves 109More NBA Playoffs From Sports IllustratedListen to SI’s NBA podcast, Open Floor, below or on Apple and Spotify.
