The San Antonio Spurs stunned the Oklahoma City Thunder 122-115 in double overtime of Western Conference finals Game 1, led by Wembanyama’s epic 41 points, 24 rebounds, three blocks, and three assists over all 49 minutes. The 22-year-old phenom became the youngest ever with 40+ points and 20+ rebounds in a playoff game, joining Wilt Chamberlain in conference finals debuts, while 20-year-old rookie Dylan Harper added 24 points, 11 boards, six assists, and a playoff-record seven steals. Without De’Aaron Fox, San Antonio’s record-young starting lineup grabbed a 1-0 lead as heavy underdogs; Game 2 follows Wednesday in OKC.
