San Antonio hasn't reached the final since 2014, when they beat LeBron and Miami.
New York hasn't reached the final since 1999. The Knicks haven't won the title since 1973, which is amazing to me.
At the end of regulation in Game One, Oklahoma City and San Antonio are tied at 101. Very exciting stuff.
ReplyDeleteAt the end of the first overtime, Oklahoma City and San Antonio are tied at 108, thanks to a long three-pointer from Victor Wembanyama. Even more exciting stuff.
ReplyDeleteSan Antonio wins 122 to 115 in double overtime. Victor Wembanyama finishes with 41 points and 24 rebounds. This was the most dominant performance in a late-round NBA game since the glory days of LeBron James and Stephen Curry.
