ICYMI: Wembanyama, Spurs send the West finals back to Oklahoma City for Game 7, routing the Thunder 118-91  

May 30, 2026

By RAUL DOMINGUEZ – Associated Press via nba.com’

Victor Wembanyama had 28 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks and the San Antonio Spurs sent the Western Conference finals back to Oklahoma City for Game 7, routing the Thunder 118-91 on Thursday night.

Game 7 is Saturday night in Oklahoma City, with the winner hosting the New York Knicks on Wednesday night to open the NBA Finals.

Aside from the Game 1 classic,, the series has been a blowout, and I’m hoping Game 7 will be nearly as exciting as Game 1.

Wemby highlights for Game 6;

Victor Wembanyama is the 1st player in Spurs franchise history to have 25+ PTS, 10+ REB, multiple steals and multiple blocks when facing elimination.

Thunder clap back into command of West Finals with Game 5 win  

May 27, 2026

Jeff Zillgitt, reporting for NBA.COM;

The Oklahoma City Thunder didn’t reach 69 points in Game 4 until 5:04 remained in the game.

They matched that total by halftime of Game 5 as the Thunder constructed their best offensive game of the Western Conference Finals and defeated the San Antonio Spurs 127-114 Tuesday for a 3-2 series lead.

Two-time Kia MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander overcame a turnover-plagued start and scored at least 30 points for the second time in the series; the Thunder’s two 7-footers, Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein produced offensively and limited Victor Wembanyama’s dominance in the paint; and Thunder coach Mark Daigneault’s change to the lineup paid dividends for the starters and the bench.

Playing with the force that Daigneault said was missing in their Game 4 loss, the defending champions are one victory from a return trip to the NBA Finals.

This series has become a classic where neither team does not want to give up and neither coach does run out of adjustment to make. It’ll be interesting what adjustment will the Spurs make in game 6, to extend this to a winner take all game 7.

Victor Wembanyama Erupts for 33 as Spurs Dismantle the Thunder in Game 4, Evens Series at 2-2

May 25, 2026

Fresh off his first career All-NBA First Team nod, Victor Wembanyama sent a clear, unmissable message to the Oklahoma City Thunder: the San Antonio Spurs aren’t going anywhere.

In a pivotal Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals at the Frost Bank Center on Sunday night, the 22-year-old phenom was simply unstoppable. Wembanyama orchestrated a 33-point masterpiece, grabbing 8 rebounds, dishing 5 assists, and swatting 3 shots to lead the Spurs in a thorough 103-82 dismantlement of the Thunder, knotting the series at 2-2.

San Antonio took control early, leading wire-to-wire and winning every single quarter. Wembanyama imposed his will on both ends of the floor for over 31 minutes, shooting 50% from the field and 42.9% from deep. He even punctuated the first half with a breathtaking logo three-pointer at the buzzer, blowing the roof off the arena.

Oklahoma City had absolutely no answers. With Jalen Williams sidelined by injury, the Thunder’s lethal offense completely sputtered against San Antonio’s defensive adjustments. Locked in on every possession, the Spurs’ defense racked up 11 steals and 10 blocks, forcing 17 costly turnovers and holding OKC to its lowest scoring total of the entire season on a dismal 33% shooting from the floor.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was choked out for a quiet 19 points on 6-of-15 shooting, finishing with a brutal minus-18 rating, while Chet Holmgren was held to just 10 points. The Thunder’s biggest lead all night was a lone point, while San Antonio pushed their advantage to as many as 25.

Meanwhile, Spurs rookie Stephon Castle provided crucial defensive energy alongside 13 points and 6 assists, while Dylan Harper flashed brilliance with 7 points with 5 rebounds, and veteran guard De’Aaron Fox steadied the ship with a 12-point, 10-rebound double-double.

More Wembanyama highlights;

The series now heads back to Paycom Center for a massive Game 5 in Oklahoma City on Wednesday night.

NBA;

Oklahoma City secured a 2-1 lead in the West Finals behind SGA (26 pts, 12 ast) and playoff career-highs from Jaylin Williams (18 pts, 5 3PM) and Jared McCain (24 pts). With their 76-23 advantage in bench scoring in Game 3, the Thunder’s second unit now holds a +119 scoring differential over San Antonio through three contests. OKC’s bench is putting up historic numbers.

This is OKC reminding everyone why they’re the defending champs!

Game 4 in San Antonio is a must win for the Spurs or else, the series will be over by game 5 when it shifts back to OKC.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scores 30, Thunder top Spurs 122-113 in Game 2 of West finals  

May 21, 2026

Ap on ESPN;

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander bounced back from a subpar series opener to score 30 points, Alex Caruso added 17 off the bench and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the San Antonio Spurs 122-113 on Wednesday night in Game 2.

Chet Holmgren scored 13 points and reserves Jared McCain and Cason Wallace each had 12 for Oklahoma City. The Thunder finished with a 57-25 edge in bench scoring, plus a 27-10 advantage in points off turnovers.

Now that the series tied, next two games will be in San Antonio and will now be a best of 5 series. OKC will try and get back home court advantage as they go to an equally hostile Spurs crowd.

If you missed Game 1 of the WCF, you can watch the extended full game 1 high lights that the NBA just released.

Enjoy!

Game 2 will remain in OKC this Wednesday evening as they look to even the series.

NBA created a 30-mins highlight reel of SGA

May 18, 2026

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a year of firsts.

On Sunday, he made history with a second.

After a season that saw SGA place himself among the game’s all-time greats – or, in some cases, in a tier all by himself – the Thunder guard just became the 7th player this century and 14th ever to win back-to-back Kia NBA MVP Awards.

Joining Nikola Jokić, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Stephen Curry, LeBron James (2x), Tim Duncan and fellow Canadian Steve Nash as back-to-back winners since 2000, the two-time reigning Kia NBA MVP now leads the Thunder against the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals.

But first, how did SGA bring his game to another level in 2025-26? He…

  • Set the NBA record for most consecutive 20+ pt games, breaking Wilt Chamberlain’s record
  • Became the first player since Wilt (1963-64) with 20+ pts in every regular season game, with a minimum of 50 games
  • Joined Michael Jordan as the only guards with at least 30+ PPG on 50+ FG% in four straight years
  • Became the only guard in NBA history to average 30+ PPG on 55%+ shooting
  • Led the league in total Clutch points, earning Kia NBA Clutch Player of the Year honors
  • Had the highest +/- in the NBA (+788) by more than 100 points

OKC’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander wins second consecutive NBA Most Valuable Player award

May 18, 2026

Tim MacMahon, reporting for ESPN;

This is the fourth straight season that Gilgeous-Alexander finished in the top five in MVP voting. He finished fifth in 2022-23 and second in 2023-24 before winning the past two seasons.

In that span, Gilgeous-Alexander became the first player since Jordan to average at least 30 points per game in four consecutive seasons.

Aside from Wemby, no one can challenge SGA for the MVP awards.

Stat-wise, SGA in the regular season is averaging 31.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.6 assists at 55.3% field goal percentage.

Nuggets defeat Spurs 136-134 powered by Jokic’s 40-points Double-Double

April 5, 2026

In a high-stakes game with playoff-level intensity, the Denver Nuggets edged the San Antonio Spurs 136–134 in an overtime thriller on Saturday night. The game served as a masterclass from the NBA’s top two MVP candidates, Nikola Jokić and Victor Wembanyama, who traded blows in OT.

Jokić was nearly flawless, exploding for 40 points, 13 assists, and 8 rebounds. Most impressively, he became the first center in NBA history to record a 40-point, 10-assist game without committing a single turnover. His late-game brilliance fueled a Nuggets comeback from an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit (107 – 96) with 9-mins remaining in regulation.

Wembanyama, returning from a one-game absence, was equally transcendent. The young star put up 34 points, 18 rebounds, 7 assists, and 5 blocks, anchoring a Spurs defense that held the lead for most of the regulation. Despite his dominant interior presence, Wembanyama’s potential game-winner at the buzzer clanged off the rim, leading to a Denver-controlled overtime. The victory snapped the Spurs’ 11-game winning streak and kept Denver within half a game of the Western Conference’s third seed.

Here’s the last 18-second of the 4ht Qtr and OT.

ICYMI: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the 2024-25 NBA Most Valuable Player

May 25, 2025

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander basically bagged the MVP award when OKC defeated the Nuggets in the semis of the Western Conference Playoff.

From NBA.Com;

A seven-year veteran, Gilgeous-Alexander won the NBA scoring title for the first time. He became the first player to lead the league in games with at least 20 points (75), 30 points (49), 40 points (13) and 50 points (four) in a season since James Harden in 2018-19.

Gilgeous-Alexander’s only regular-season game with fewer than 20 points was an 18-point performance against the San Antonio Spurs on Oct. 30, 2024. He scored at least 20 points in each of his final 72 games, the longest streak at any point in a single season since 1963-64 (when Wilt Chamberlain recorded an 80-game streak and Oscar Robertson had a 76-game streak).

The 6-foot-6 Gilgeous-Alexander shot 51.9% from the field, a career-high 37.5% from three-point range and 89.8% from the free throw line (sixth in the NBA). He made an NBA-leading 601 free throws and a personal-best 163 three-pointers, 68 more threes than his previous career high of 95, set last season.

Gilgeous-Alexander joined Michael Jordan as the only players in NBA history to average at least 32.0 points and 6.0 assists per game and shoot 50.0% or better from the field in a season. Jordan accomplished the feat twice, in the 1988-89 and 1989-90 seasons.

OKC are currently 2-1 against the Minnesota Timberwolves and are the favorites to come out of the West and to win the Larry O’Brien this year. You can view the complete voting results here.

Milwaukee Bucks wins the 2024 NBA Cup behind Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Triple-Double

December 18, 2024

Milwaukee Bucks win the 2024 NBA Cup behind a dominant game by Giannis Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo finished the game with a triple double, 26-point, 19-rebound and 10-assist. Damian Lillard added 23 points with 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Bucks Assistant coach Darvin Ham and forward Taurean Prince, are members of the Los Angeles Lakers last season when they won the inaugural NBA Cup.

Giannis Antetokounmpo also won the MVP for the NBA Cup.

It was great win for the Bucks specially after starting the season with a 2-8 record, since then the Bucks are 12 – 3. Milwaukee Bucks will have at least 2 full days of rest before facing the Cavs, the number 1 team in the league this Friday evening.

2024 WNBA Individual Awards  

September 29, 2024

Shams Charania via X (@ShamsCharania);

Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark has won the WNBA Rookie of the Year award and Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier has been awarded the Defensive Player of the Year, sources confirm.

Las Vegas’ A’ja Wilson received MVP and Connecticut’s DiJonai Carrington won Most Improved Player.

Except for Las Vegas’ A’ja Wilson MVP award, WNBA has yet to officially announce this years 2024 WNBA Individual Awards.

It would have been great if A’ja Wilson was also named as the DPOY, since Wilson lead the league in blocks, and top 5 in steal and rebounds.

As for the Rookie of the Year, with all other rookies sideline by the end of the regular season, Caitlin Clark will be the runaway winner for ROY, I was thinking that Cameron Brink could at least make it to a interesting race at the start of the season.

It was a rematch of the Tokyo Olympics medal game, but the US Women’s Basketball team took care of business and claimed the gold medal in the Women’s 5×5 Basketball Tournament at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Unlike their male counterparts, the US women needed a bit of luck to secure the gold, as Gabby Williams’ buzzer-beating shot was just inches inside the three-point line, potentially sending the game to overtime.

A’ja Wilson led the team with 21 points and 13 rebounds. Wilson also took have the MVP awards for the tournament. Kahleah Copper and Kelsey Plum contributed 12 points apiece, both going 6-for-6 from the free-throw line.

After clawing back from a 10-point deficit early in the third quarter, France kept the game close. However, Kelsey Plum’s offense and the team’s defense in the fourth quarter created a 3-point lead, ultimately securing the gold medal.

Gabby Williams led France with 19 points and 7 rebounds. Valeriane Ayayi and Marine Johannes added 9 points each, but no other French player scored more than 8 points. Fast break points (6-15), points in the paint (20-30), and bench points (20-29) were significant factors in France’s defeat.
