Wembanyama’s 40–20 masterclass leads Spurs past Thunder in double-overtime thriller

Posted : 19 May 2026

Victor Wembanyama produced a dominant 40-point, 20-rebound performance to inspire the San Antonio Spurs to a dramatic double-overtime victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the NBA Conference Finals. The Spurs edged the defending champions 122-115 in a thrilling opener to the best-of-seven series.

The matchup brought together the top two seeds in the Western Conference and featured a highly anticipated duel between Wembanyama, the league’s Defensive Player of the Year, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who has won back-to-back NBA MVP awards. The contest lived up to expectations, with both teams trading momentum throughout a tense battle.

San Antonio had chances to close out the game in regulation and again in the first overtime, but Oklahoma City forced additional periods before the Spurs finally pulled away. Wembanyama sealed the win with an alley-oop dunk in the final seconds of the second overtime, finishing with 41 points and 24 rebounds.

At just 22 years old, Wembanyama became the youngest player in NBA history to record at least 40 points and 20 rebounds in a playoff game, joining Wilt Chamberlain as the only players to achieve the feat in a Conference Finals debut. Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson praised his star player’s mentality and ability to rise to big moments.

Rookie guard Dylan Harper also impressed with 24 points and 11 rebounds, while Oklahoma City suffered their first defeat of the postseason despite strong efforts from Alex Caruso, Jalen Williams, and Gilgeous-Alexander. The MVP admitted his side must improve ahead of Game 2 in Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
