00:02It has all come down to best the seventh and final game.
00:07For eight months and nearly 100 nights, they do the same.
00:12They show up to play a game.
00:14Three blows here.
00:16But tonight is not like the other nights.
00:18Wow.
00:19This is the night you work for when no one else is watching.
00:22Haymaker after haymaker here.
00:25Tonight, the basketball world is watching.
00:27To see the next Game 7 moment.
00:33So whose night is it?
00:35The back-to-back MVP stifled in this series.
00:39But one last chance to carry his championship club.
00:45Or the one-of-a-kind star from France.
00:48At 22, heralded as the future face of the league.
00:52Are you kidding me?
00:53But is it his time yet?
00:55Body blow upon body blow between these two teams.
00:59Someone walks out tonight with their mark on NBA history.
01:03Don't get some bumps and bruises.
01:04This is your one night.
01:06You're saying things you never saw before.
01:08You have one shot at Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.
01:28This is the NBA on NBC.
01:32Welcome to the 2026 Western Conference Finals.
01:37Tonight, it's Game 7 as the San Antonio Spurs visit the Oklahoma City Thunder.
01:43Brought to you by DraftKings Sportsbook.
01:47Good evening from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
01:50On this final Saturday night in May for the final game of the 2026 Western Conference Finals.
01:56Inside the Paycom Center, where the Thunder won two Game 7s on their way to last year's title.
02:01They need to win another to defend that crown.
02:04The back-to-back league MVP, Jay Kilgis Alexander, looking to return to the NBA Finals.
02:10And the 22-year-old, uber-talented Victor Wembenyama looks to get the Spurs back there for the first time
02:16in 12 years.
02:17Good evening, everyone.
02:19Thanks for having us in.
02:20Mike Tirico, Reggie Miller, the Hall of Famer, Jamal Crawford, the three-time Sixth Man of the Year.
02:24Guys, our pleasure to be a part of the 160th Game 7 in NBA playoff history.
02:29This series has been wonderful.
02:30An epic double overtime Game 1.
02:32Five convincing wins after that.
02:34Just feels like we're set up for an epic finale.
02:37Brent, I want to start with the champs in Oklahoma City.
02:39They played about half this series without two of their four leading scores.
02:43It's true again tonight.
02:44That means the Spurs have put a lot of focus on stopping SGA.
02:48Rightfully so, and I think that will not change.
02:50Again, he's going to have the focal point of the defense.
02:54Well, what I love about him, he's going to have to make better decisions, especially when he's crowded.
02:59You go to the tape here.
03:01He's like Tupac Shakur, all eyes on me.
03:04Look what he's looking down.
03:05Ten set of eyes.
03:07What he's got to do, a better job of making decisions.
03:10Castle forces him into the defensive player of the year, a turnover, right?
03:15So when he's playing in a crowd, again, Wembe comes over, ten set of eyes.
03:20He tries to split the double team.
03:22The ball, Hawk Castle, does a great job of forcing him into danger.
03:27Turnover.
03:28He's got to get the ball up early.
03:29This is what I do like.
03:31Take him off the basketball.
03:32A good brush screen there by Hartenstein, but make quick decisions.
03:37You see him separating, creating separation right there against Castle.
03:41Bucket.
03:42But when all else fails, this is what I want to see.
03:45High pick and roll.
03:46You get the switch that you want.
03:48Now you bring Wembe away from the basket.
03:50It's one-on-one.
03:52He's able to create that separation with that step back.
03:55But what that also does, if he misses it, it's offensive responsibilities for the Thunder as well.
04:01So he's got to be aggressive.
04:03Don't get me wrong.
04:04I want him to take 25 shots tonight.
04:06But he's got to make smart decisions.
04:08You see the difference in the production and the wins and the losses.
04:11And in those losses, these young Spurs who are ahead of schedule, when you think about it, Jamal,
04:16they have gotten a great performance from the guys who have been the best player on the floor, Victor Wemp
04:20and Young.
04:20He's doing Tupac.
04:21I might as well do Nas if I ruled the world.
04:23When Wembe is rolling, it's like he's ruling the world.
04:26He is something special.
04:28When he's aggressive and he's going for it, the team follows.
04:32But if you look, great players not only beat the initial defense, they have to beat the back line defense.
04:36When he's playing in no hesitation, he can get wherever he wants.
04:39He can beat the second line, the third line.
04:41And again, right here, watch the gaps and the angles that he sees.
04:45He can get wherever he wants.
04:46But the foot pattern right there is what allows him to get to the basket.
04:49He changed up his foot pattern and put Chet in a defensive mode.
04:53And that's when he can be at his best when he's attacking the paint.
04:56When he holds the ball, when he processes things, that lets the defender be more aggressive.
05:01And now he's settling.
05:02That's what the OKC Thunder want.
05:04When he plays decisive, it's a different game.
05:06Again, in here, hesitation allows the help defender to be there.
05:10He's jabbing, he's jabbing, has to take a dribble spin, doesn't feel comfortable, takes a tough shot.
05:14That is not the Wimby they want.
05:16They want their aggressive Wimby, leaving it all at the court.
05:18You see the numbers for Wimby, Yama, so dominant in the three wins.
05:22Let's hear from a couple of the players who are going to play in this game seven with our reporters.
05:26A moment ago, they spoke with them.
05:27Let's start with Ashley Comedy speaking with the Spurs' Stefan Kassett.
05:33Siphon, game seven against the defending champs in their building.
05:37What emotions are you feeling right now?
05:38I'm feeling confident.
05:40We've seen this team a lot.
05:42We've played here a lot.
05:43And I think we know we have to do it to win.
05:45We've got to be ourselves.
05:47You are 48 minutes away from the NBA Finals.
05:50What are going to be the X factors to get you there tonight?
05:52I think just focusing on our details, not having to do anything outside of ourselves, and believing in each other.
06:00Thank you, Siphon.
06:00Good luck.
06:00So, Zora, take it away.
06:03Kaysen, game seven, you've been here before, but what will this one take?
06:07A lot of heart, a lot of grit.
06:09We've got to come out and do it to whole 48.
06:11And let's hear the message.
06:12What's the last thing that Coach said to you all before you ran out tonight?
06:15Compete together.
06:16Thank you.
06:17Thank you.
06:18They stay steady.
06:19It's hard to be steady.
06:20Each of you have played in five of these.
06:22What's the emotion they're feeling and you're feeling before game seven?
06:26To me, alphas have to set the tone.
06:28I expect that from SBA and Wimbley.
06:31That just settles everyone else down.
06:33And your role player, who's going to be that one guy that can step up for each game?
06:38And tonight, we know there's been movies this year.
06:41There's been Senators.
06:42There's been Michael.
06:44Tonight will be a movie.
06:45It will be epic.
06:45They have to have a certain freedom, a certain lever on the court.
06:49It's going to be fun.
06:50The New York Knicks are home.
06:52They are waiting.
06:53They are watching.
06:53Who will join them in the finals?
06:55Who will be the man to match the moment?
06:57Who will be the star that will step up?
06:59It's everything you ask for in sports.
07:02The two best teams in the league in a game seven for a shot at the finals.
07:06We have it for you next, here on NBC.
07:08Let's take a look at tonight's DraftKings player tracker, following the two stars on each side
07:17and their points per game.
07:18That's the regular and postseason combined.
07:20Those numbers.

07:32Beautiful day.
07:34Temperature hit 90 outside in Oklahoma City.
07:36And the fans have been standing for the last 15 minutes, ready to roll here for game seven.
07:43The Thunder won 64 games this year, two more than the Spurs.
07:47So San Antonio on the road for this game seven.
07:50Their first game seven since the opening round of 2019.
07:55De'Aaron Fox is the only starter who has game seven experience.
08:01De'Aaron Fox, Kentucky.
08:03Stephon Castle, Covington, Georgia.
08:06Devin Vassell, Florida State.
08:08Julianne Champagne, St. John's University.
08:11Nico Wimbenemar from France.
08:15Core head coach Vince Johnson, his first game seven in his second year,
08:20replacing Hall of Famer Greg Popovich.
08:22He did get advice from Pop on this one.
08:24And exude that level of confidence for your young team here tonight.
08:31On the other side, the Thunder.
08:32Their second leading scorer, Jalen Williams, played 10 minutes in game six.
08:37But he and his replacement, A.J. Mitchell, again injured, both out of the lineup tonight.
08:43This will be the fourth different starting lineup for the Thunder play
08:46in this Western Conference Finals set to be introduced to this raucous sellout crowd.
09:14Now, let's meet the city leader for the yard, up on City, Stephon.
09:22Thunder.
09:26Thunder.
09:28Standing here for six-four, Robert Sonson, out of the way behind, Lucas Thorne.
09:41And Kang, six-four, with a kickbackie, now 22, Kingston, one.

11:13It's a night for unforgettable moments
11:16It's the intersection of angst and athleticism
11:19Pressure and tackle
11:21The players about to take this court
11:23Will never forget
11:25What's about to unfold in front of us
11:27Tonight?
12:07O-M-A-T!

12:38This is the 80th playoff game of the 80th NBA season.
12:43It adds up that it's the 160th, game 7, in NBA playoff history.
12:58Thunder trying to get back to the finals.
13:00First trying to get there for the first time in 12 years.
13:03San Antonio's won every tip-off in this series.
13:09They get this one, and Game 7 is underway.
13:22In almost a quarter of a second, we've had the two best teams in the league.
13:27In a Game 7, at a conference final, nonetheless, first shot off the glass.
13:32An homage to Tim Duncan for Wemba Nyama to get this started.
13:36And Hardenstein was trying to be physical with him before he even got the basketball.
13:42Nice step back, fadeaway there off the glass for Wemba.
13:46Let's see if Wemba's more aggressive.
13:48Knocked away.
13:50Stephon Castle back the other way.
13:52Goes to the basket, pitches to Pops.
13:54And the first foul of the game is on the pass.
13:56And it's on the Thunder.
13:58And you see both teams are trying to establish their bigs already.
14:01Victor Wemba Nyama getting the first touch for the Spurs.
14:05Absorbing the contact and initiating the contact.
14:07Going off the glass.
14:09And on the other side, trying to get Chet Holmgren a bucket from their first possession for the Thunder.
14:14Foul on Lou Dort.
14:15It's first.
14:15T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T.
14:19Castle, good hands by Dort.
14:21With Jeff Henning was drifting to the corner.
14:24This is the 12th meeting between these teams.
14:27There are no secrets at this point.
14:32T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T.
14:45Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok
15:16Александр looks for some space inside
15:18A lot of contact out off the spurs
15:20OKC ball
15:21And Fox has not been shooting the ball well
15:24But that's what he allows
15:25Is taking the pressure
15:26Allowing Caster to do what he does best
15:28And attack the basket
15:32De'Aaron Fox missed the first couple of games
15:35Of this series with an ankle injury
15:44The cell guarding SGA
15:47Turns for space
15:48And hit
15:52Should be better off
15:54Now if he can make those stops
15:55On a consistent basis
15:56This takes the thunder to another level
15:59Something we haven't really seen
16:02Through the first six
16:03Castle working down low
16:05Again around the basket
16:07For Stephon Castle
16:08And these teams have opened
16:09A combined six for six
16:11So much for game seven nerve
16:14Isaiah Hartstock
16:16Holmgren a good game seven
16:18In the NBA Finals last year
16:20Misses his first field goal
16:22Wallace gets it back
16:28Dort
16:29Trying to get out of the slumps
16:30Not even close
16:31Lou Dort
16:33Has struggled mightily from three
16:35He's four of 23
16:36In this series
16:37And now you're seeing
16:39Point Wimby
16:40And this is a whole different look
16:41Because
16:42If a guard runs to a pick and roll
16:44There's probably going to be
16:45An advantage somewhere
16:46Defense
16:48Defense
16:49Defense
16:50Defense
16:51Goes to the basket
16:52Oh!
16:53Wait!
16:53Waiting!
16:54Wimby Diyama throws it on his head
16:55How about the give and go
16:57And then back cut
16:58By Wimby
17:04Again
17:04An early lead for the Spurs
17:06What they have done so often
17:08In this series
17:10Dort going to try again
17:13Missed again
17:13Wimby Diyama
17:14Pulled box out
17:15On Hartenstock
17:17Back the other way
17:19Wimby
17:19Head of steam
17:20Corner pitch
17:21Vassell
17:22Short on the three
17:24SGA the board
17:30Thunder have missed their last three shots
17:33Two of them by Dorton
17:36The clean catcher Hardenstein
17:38Fans want the contact
17:39Back to Wimby Diyama
17:40He comes ready to steal
17:42And in the backcourt
17:43He goes down
17:44And he's fouled
17:44As well as
17:45Tripton
17:53Fans wanted the first one
17:54On Hartenstein
17:56When he was being guarded
17:57By Wimby Diyama
18:00Yeah looks like
18:01The feet got tangled up
18:02There was offensive contact
18:03On the backside there
18:05By Wallace
18:09This is a great start
18:10Once again
18:11For the Spurs
18:13And here's that 45 action
18:16Right now
18:16Look where they started it
18:18Right at half
18:19Look how much space
18:20That Castle has to operate
18:22Castle in short
18:24No waiting for
18:25Alan Caruso
18:25He comes in quickly
18:26For Lou Dort
18:28They need the offense
18:29Like he had
18:29In game one
18:30When Caruso
18:31Went for 31
18:32Gildas Alexander
18:35The shovel shot
18:37He patented
18:39Isaiah Hartenstein
18:40Little push
18:41Makes it a four point game
18:42That Hartenstein shot
18:44Is money
18:44That is such a difficult shot
18:46That he has mastered
18:46And makes it look so easy
18:48That is not an easy shot though
18:50And shooting over Wendy
18:52As well
18:53Luke Cornett
18:54At the table
18:54Usually comes in
18:55For Wimby Diyama
18:56Fox trying to get hot
18:58De'Aaron Fox
18:59If he has a big shooting game
19:01Look out
19:01Only 2 of 50
19:03From 3
19:03In the series
19:09Gildas Alexander
19:11Threw it away
19:12Fox reading it
19:13On the push
19:14Good hesitation
19:15Set up Champagne
19:17Wimby Diyama
19:18Beautiful ball movement
19:19Vassell
19:20Can't get the payoff
19:22Yeah
19:23That was great ball movement
19:25There by the Spurs
19:26Everyone touching the basketball
19:28Wide open look
19:29By Vassell
19:35Gildas Alexander
19:36Every time he puts it
19:38On the floor
19:38There's somebody else
19:39Waiting for him
19:40Yes
19:40And he looked off
19:41With his eyes
19:41And that's what froze
19:42The second line of defense
19:43And Champagne
19:45Gets the pass
19:46And knocks down
19:47The three pointer
19:48All five Spurs
19:50Starters have scored
19:51In the first
19:52Five plus of this one
19:54And Fox the knockaway
19:55Vassell on the push
19:56Holmgren back
19:58Vassell now
19:59Follow up by Castle
20:01Timeout Oklahoma City
20:03And once again
20:04The first punch
20:05Thrown by the Spurs
20:11They lead by 10
20:13Well you could not have
20:14Scripted a better start
20:16Here by these young Spurs
20:18The turnover here
20:19Vassell
20:20With the lamp
20:22Attempt
20:22But Castle
20:23With the cleanup
20:28Wimby Diyama
20:29Is going to get
20:29A ton of attention
20:30The defense is too high
20:32Wimby spots Castle
20:33Makes the pass
20:34Right there
20:35Castle's behind
20:36The defense
20:37The help defense
20:37Can't even help
20:39The helper
20:39And then the next one
20:40Watch Wimby get into his bag
20:42He goes backwards
20:43As he goes backwards
20:44He goes forward
20:45That got Harden signed
20:46In a bad position
20:47The old school
20:48Give and go
20:49With a new school twist
20:51Victor Wimby Diyama
20:52With the poster
20:55That is the definition
20:58Of posterizing
20:59Wimby sits
21:00Here at the 6'33 mark
21:02Spurs are up 10
21:04Luke Cornett
21:05In the game
21:06So too is Dylan Harper
21:07Kaston Wallace
21:08In the starting lineup
21:09Misses
21:10Hartenstein gets the rebound
21:12But Kane stands back
21:13And is short on the 3
21:14One more try
21:16This time
21:16For the Thunder
21:18Caruso waiting for it
21:20Saw Hartenstein
21:21Clean look
21:22Wallace
21:24Third try to come
21:25That might be the best
21:26Offense
21:27For the Thunder
21:28Here in game 7
21:29Offensive rebounding
21:31That play was made
21:32By Caruso
21:33He's fake
21:33Thawed it to the diver
21:35And pitched it to the corner
21:36Oh the sell
21:40He knocks down
21:41His second field goal
21:42Five points
21:42Caruso
21:43With the finish
21:43Right at Cornett
21:44Score
21:48Spurs are a plus
21:4938 in the first quarter
21:50Including tonight
21:52And they have not
21:53Let up
21:56Castle
21:56Right at SGA
21:57Stains with them
21:58Got him in the air
22:00And the foul
22:01Castle pulled an SGA
22:03On SGA right there
22:04Look at the series
22:05Of pump fakes
22:07And as soon as SGA got in the air
22:10Look at the contact down low
22:12There's the separation
22:14He goes for the pump fake
22:16The contact
22:17What a start here for Castle
22:19Four of five
22:21Eight points
22:24And Mark Degno is talking to John
22:26Goble the official
22:27About exactly that
22:27With the contact
22:29And the extension
22:30Of the arm
22:31He wanted that call
22:32Didn't get him
22:34And his team's down
22:3511 already
22:35Well the bump
22:36Is what got SGA
22:37Out of position
22:37And made him want to react
22:39And come close
22:40And got the foul call
22:42Nice fight
22:43And Mark Stein
22:44Trying to kick Caruso
22:45And it's a fifth turnover
22:48For the Thunder
22:48In the first 645
22:56And the Spurs lead by 14
22:59Seven minutes in
23:01In game seven
23:02All about the turnovers
23:04And the defensive pressure here
23:05Mark Stein's got to do
23:07His push shot
23:07Once he gets in
23:08Delane
23:10McCain slips
23:11Gets back up
23:13Beautiful
23:14Off the window
23:15Over Luke Cornette
23:17I don't think office
23:18Is going to be the issue
23:19For OKC
23:20I don't know
23:21If they can string
23:21Enough stops here
23:22Well the Spurs
23:23Is putting on a defensive run
23:24Red
23:24And that's what
23:25Fueled their offense
23:28Stephon Carlos
23:29Short
23:30Caruso on the chase down
23:31Numbers at the Thunder
23:32Go
23:33SGA
23:35On the pitch
23:35To the corner
23:36To Kane
23:40Spurs timeout
23:56Taking a look at tonight's
23:58DraftKings player
23:59Tractor
23:59Wembenyama
24:00And Gildas Alexander
24:02Their points per game

24:18Five turnovers
24:19In about eight minutes
24:20Here in the first quarter
24:21Active hands
24:22Active bodies
24:23And that's been
24:25The difference maker
24:25Difference maker
24:27Here
24:28Seven points
24:29Off these turnovers
24:31By the Thunder
24:33Russo
24:34Hounding Castro
24:35Stephon gets around
24:37Gets in the paint
24:38Gets inside
24:38Gildas Alexander there
24:40So is Jalen Williams
24:41Just lost the bench
24:42On the deck
24:43Keeps it alive
24:45Holmgren looks up late
24:47Heldon Johnson
24:48Rips it out of his hands
24:49A six turnover
24:51McCain digs in
24:53Another turnover
24:54See if I'm the Thunder
24:56I play fast
24:57You gotta play faster here
24:58Gets Alexander
25:00No but a foul
25:02Good attack there
25:04By SGA
25:05But when you get a turnover
25:06You've gotta get off
25:08And transition
25:09First to the floor here
25:10Jay Will
25:12Gets the ball to SGA
25:14How about the active hands
25:16On the back side
25:17By McCain
25:19Tonight
25:19Jamal
25:20It's all about possessions
25:21Because whoever has
25:22More possessions at the end
25:24With the firepower
25:25Each team possesses
25:26It's gonna be interesting
25:28And the little things
25:29Always show up in big games
25:30The fundamentals
25:31The things that coaches
25:32Always talk about
25:33Always show up in games like this
25:35Who can do the controllables
25:36The best
25:37And not beat themselves
25:38To our reporters
25:39To our reporters
25:40Ashley Chalmody
25:40Yeah guys
25:41When it comes to defending
25:42Shea
25:42Coach Johnson said
25:43Be careful in what's working
25:45Sometimes you can get intoxicated
25:46About what may or may not be working
25:48At that time in the game
25:49But on a player like him
25:50It is so fluid
25:51Things are changing so rapidly
25:52You always need to be adjusted
25:54He only had three free throw attempts
25:56Ash
25:57In game six
25:58First two of game seven
26:00A moment ago
26:00Making a seven point game
26:03Dylan Harper gets it
26:04To Wembe and Yama
26:07Yeah step
26:08Shoots over Williams
26:09Airball
26:11Top clock running down
26:12Thunder have the ball
26:14Williams trips on the side
26:16As he tangled with Wembe
26:19It's gotta be a quick decision
26:20Here by SBA
26:21So Kane trying to lose Harper
26:24These young defenders
26:25In the Spurs
26:25So quick footed
26:27Step back triple
26:30Jaylen Williams
26:31Good read to keep it alive
26:32Holmgren
26:33Turned away
26:34As he sees Wembe and Yama
26:37Killed his Alexander
26:39To Williams for three
26:42Kevin Bussell
26:43On the board
26:52Bussell
26:52Looking to drop
26:53Contact
26:54Miss that stop
26:56Jaylen Williams
26:57Comes in
26:57We had a big three-point
26:59Shooting game
26:59Earlier
27:00In this series
27:01McCain
27:03Good rebound
27:04By Wendry
27:05Goes up to get it
27:06Got fouled
27:08He's saying
27:09Not in the act
27:10I believe
27:10But still
27:11Holmgren aggressive
27:12Has these fans up
27:14Good clean look
27:15There by McCain
27:17And I talked about
27:18Maybe an offensive rebound
27:19Could be the best
27:20Offense here
27:21For the Thunder
27:22Jet is gonna have to find
27:24A way to get going
27:25Here only two field goal
27:27Attempts in those two points
27:28And we're gonna have to pay
27:29Attention to how hard
27:30Shea is working
27:31He usually was taking a rest
27:32By now
27:32But Dagnall knows
27:34All bets are off
27:35Keep going for it
27:37Thunder brought in
27:38Kenrich Williams
27:39Eight-year man out of TCU
27:41Jalen Williams sits
27:42Holmgren on the catch
27:44Pitching out to
27:45Kenrich Williams
27:46Off on the three
27:49Rebound scorch to Fox
27:51The Thunder
27:51A two of ten from deep
27:53They have struggled
27:54The last two games
27:55Shooting the three
27:58Marcus Spinn
27:59Scoops
28:00And scores
28:01He is so good
28:03Once he gets two feet
28:05Again
28:06Playing off two feet
28:07Once he gets into the paint
28:08Jamal
28:08Yeah, but that looked like
28:09His dad in Cleveland
28:10That was old
28:10From making that layup
28:12That was nice
28:13Multiple champions
28:14Part off the window
28:15For Gildas Alexander
28:16Back to the other way
28:17Fissel
28:18Spurs with numbers
28:19Fissel all the way
28:20Gets fouled
28:22By McCain
28:23Of the Thunder
28:25Free throws coming
28:33Look at this
28:33Little pump fake
28:35Nothing there
28:35Kenrich
28:36Good defense
28:36A little
28:37A little fake there
28:39That kind of throws him
28:40In the finger roll
28:42That left foot
28:43Was his pivot foot
28:44And then
28:45It got some air
28:46And if you're Williams
28:47That's a tough position
28:48To be in
28:48Come in
28:49And have to take
28:49A three point shot
28:50And then have to defend
28:51Harper
28:52On the other side
28:53Of the ball
28:53Especially when you're
28:54Trying to get your coaches
28:55And teammates trust
28:56After you've been out
28:57The rotation
28:57For a little bit
29:00Mark Dakenold's team
29:01Oklahoma City
29:02In that game six
29:03Or ten of forty
29:04Cheating the three
29:05And you thought
29:05Maybe they'll come home
29:06They'll get hot
29:07They're two of ten
29:08That means they've hit
29:09Twelve for their last
29:10Fifty three pointers
29:11That's twenty-four percent
29:13For a team
29:13That's shot in at
29:14Thirty-six
29:15In the regular season
29:17Look at you
29:18With that Syracuse map
29:19Just rolling
29:22That was easy
29:23Come on
29:23All right
29:24I was only in Michigan
29:25Four years
29:26You know
29:28The lead is eleven
29:32In gate seven
29:34Look how they're
29:34Loading up on SGA
29:36Every time
29:37Rich
29:37Williams penetrates
29:39Pitch to Holmgren
29:40Can somebody else
29:41Step up
29:42Late clock
29:43Gotta go
29:43Caruso
29:44Sees it
29:45Knows it
29:45Big five
29:47When Benyama
29:48On the rebound
29:49McCain
29:49Couldn't steal it
29:52The cell
29:53Aggressive
29:53They are attacking
29:54They are playing fast
29:57Everybody touches it
29:58Except for one Benyama
29:59Who touched too quick
30:00Or Champagne
30:01Threw it too quick
30:07But if
30:07Champagne
30:08Would have
30:09Just waited a second
30:10This would have been
30:12A wide open back door
30:13For Wemby
30:17Hartenstein in
30:18Holmgren sits
30:19For the Thunder
30:20But those are the type
30:22Of turnovers
30:23If you're the Spurs
30:24You can live with
30:24You can set your defense
30:25You can still set your defense
30:27Dead ball turnover here
30:31Be careful with the ball
30:33All-around
30:33Fox
30:37Look where they're starting
30:38Their offense
30:41The field is Alexander
30:42Against scene two
30:43Go hard to find others
30:45Caruso
30:46Off on that three
30:48Nice tip in by
30:49Kendrick Williams
30:51Those type of minutes
30:53You have to provide
30:54You're coming off
30:54The bench
30:55And searching for anything
30:56In the game seven
30:58Fox
30:58Attacks the basket
31:00Harrison Barnes
31:01The vet just in
31:02When Benyama
31:03Hartenstein
31:04Got hit by the mouth
31:05A loose ball foul
31:07Here on the floor
31:10On Hartenstein
31:11Who's the one grabbing
31:12His mouth
31:15Fans see the early look
31:16And a furious
31:18And here it is
31:21And they're asking
31:22Daco if he wants to
31:23Challenge here
31:23And he's going to
31:32That's pretty clear
31:34Left arm
31:35Yeah
31:35That was offensive foul
31:36On Wimpy
31:39At least
31:41You see how upset
31:42Daco was
31:43He didn't even need
31:43To tell the guys
31:44In the back
31:44He challenged it
31:45Right away
31:54Okay back
31:55We have a challenge
31:55Of the foul
31:56That was called
31:56On Hartenstein
31:57Of Oklahoma City
31:59Looking to see
32:00If it's going to be
32:00A foul on one
32:01Benyama
32:01And then I would
32:02Imagine guys
32:03As you're in there
32:03Looking
32:04There is contact
32:05Above the head
32:07Or at the head
32:08Above the shoulders
32:09Thank your pardon
32:10To Hartenstein
32:11From Wimpy
32:12So we'll watch
32:13The replays again
32:14As they look
32:15At the back
32:15In the replay center
32:16In New Jersey
32:17And this is clearly
32:18The elbow
32:20Is before all
32:21The contact
32:22From Hartenstein
32:23It's been determined
32:25It's been determined
32:25That Wimpy
32:25And this is a successful challenge
32:33An offensive foul
32:34Will be assessed
32:35Wimpy
32:35And this is a successful challenge
32:45Anybody in the game
32:46At the time
32:46Of the tech
32:47Will be allowed to
32:47Shoot
32:48So Mark Dagnolk
32:50When he was out
32:50Yelling at
32:51John Goble
32:52Was given
32:53A technical foul
32:54In that process
32:57Second technical
32:58On a coach
32:59In this series
33:00Mitch Johnson
33:00Got one
33:01Earlier
33:02In this series
33:03So the Spurs
33:04Are going to get
33:05To shoot here
33:06The more I'm pulling
33:06It
33:07It wasn't a flagrant
33:08One too
33:08Which would have been
33:09A free throw
33:11On possession
33:12Which I think
33:13Was the reaction
33:14You heard
33:14From the fans
33:15Right
33:15They were waiting
33:16To hear more
33:17From Mark Davis
33:18With the contact
33:19Above the shoulders
33:20And look at
33:21Coach Dagnol
33:21Right now
33:22And Josh Tiven
33:26Wimpy
33:26Yama
33:26To the free throw
33:27Line
33:29He's only missed
33:30Four
33:31In this series
33:3247 of 51
33:34Here's where
33:35He gets
33:35The technical
33:36Who's
33:36John Goble
33:37The official
33:37We've started
33:38The yell at
33:42Came out
33:43On the floor
33:44Timeout
33:45Was called
33:45And then Mark Davis
33:46As he talks
33:47To Goble
33:48Again
33:49Attesses the team
33:50First on
33:51Dagnol
33:51In these playoffs
33:52Only three
33:54In the regular season
33:55But you like it
33:56He's fighting for a team
33:56I mean
33:57It's game seven
33:58He saw the offensive
33:59Foul like he did
34:00Pain inside
34:01Release over
34:02Weppy
34:02Hartenstein crashes
34:03Loose ball
34:04Foul on the Spurs
34:07It's Stephon Castle
34:08By the way
34:09That foul
34:09On Wimpy
34:10Yama
34:10Was his first
34:11In the last five quarters
34:12He did not get called
34:14For a foul
34:14In game six
34:17First foul
34:18Last few minutes
34:18So
34:19Thunderball
34:20Eight and a half
34:21The difference
34:21Between the clocks
34:26Jason Wallace
34:27Sees Wimpy
34:28McCain
34:28Floats back
34:29He can hit that
34:30He did hit that
34:36Boy what a start
34:37From McCain
34:38Off the bench
34:39Here with eight points
34:41Fans up
34:42Got blocked off
34:43Into the quarter
34:43When Banyama
34:45Handles
34:46Hitches to the corner
34:47Fox
34:47Short
34:49Time for the thunder
34:50Wallace lets it fly
34:53And the quarter
34:54Thumbs to an end
34:55Spurs led
34:58By a dozen
34:59It's seven
35:00After one
35:01You're watching the
35:03Western Conference

35:34To golf's third
35:35Major of the year
35:36How about this guys
35:37Normally SGA
35:38Is resting
35:39The start of the
35:39Second quarter
35:40Here he starts
35:41The second
35:42He comes out
35:43With a bucket
35:46And they got it
35:47To space
35:47Reg they got him
35:48Off the
35:49The horn
35:49Set the free throw line
35:50Got to a three point line
35:52And let him
35:52Get to the space
35:54He needed to get
35:54That jumper off
35:56Harper free
35:57The lefty three
35:59Is knocked down
36:00By the rookie
36:01Out of Rutgers
36:02Dylan Harper's got five
36:03Yeah but the reason
36:04Why he's so wide open
36:05The hard roll
36:06By Wimby
36:07He just
36:09Gravitates down the middle
36:11With so much
36:12Attention
36:13Now attacking
36:14Wimpenyama
36:15Hartenstein cuts
36:17Caruso
36:17Free
36:18Three
36:20Wimpenyama
36:21At his jersey
36:21Held by Hartenstein
36:22Foul called
36:27His first
36:30SGA
36:30Getting to the
36:31Painted area
36:32Gets the space
36:32He wants
36:34The contact
36:35Knocks it down
36:36And then
36:36Watch
36:37The hard roll
36:39By Victor Wimpenyama
36:40Wallace
36:41Has to tag
36:42Has to help
36:43Leave Dylan Harper
36:44Wide open
36:45And in the hole
36:47By Hartenstein
36:49Harrison Barnes
36:50Victor Wimpenyama
36:50Set that screen
36:51Free Harper to go
36:52At Holmgren
36:54Played the Spurs
36:55Have run a lot
36:55And with great
36:56Effect
36:58Barnes had a hook
36:59To Hartenstein
37:00Here's the veteran
37:01On his birthday
37:02Inside
37:02Pitched it out
37:04To Castle
37:05Brimmed out
37:05The three
37:06And McCain
37:06The leading scorer
37:08For the Thunder
37:09In that first quarter
37:10Has it
37:11The X-Sixer
37:12Sparated in February
37:14Playing a big role
37:16In game seven
37:17For the Cavs
37:21Can Holmgren
37:22Get going
37:23Offensively
37:24Barnes flips
37:26McCain
37:29Artenstein
37:30Trying to battle
37:30For the rebound
37:31Was held
37:31By Wimpenyama
37:32That's his second
37:39And just
37:40By observing here
37:41Everything is so
37:43Smooth offensively
37:44For the Spurs
37:46And just for the Thunder
37:47To score
37:48It's a struggle
37:49Here
37:51But when you're
37:52Missing
37:52Two of your better
37:53Players
37:54Than AJ Mitchell
37:55And J-Dub
37:57Most of the creation
37:58Goes to SGA
37:59But also in the game
38:00Well it's the pitch
38:01Hartenstein
38:03Touch it again
38:08Look how high
38:09Hartenstein
38:10Playing Lindy
38:11And how physical
38:15A lob
38:16What a catch
38:17By Castle
38:17Bruns too
38:18And the veteran
38:18Barnes
38:20Missed the three
38:21Champagny
38:21On the pitch
38:22It's going to go
38:22The other way
38:23Foul on
38:24The Spurs
38:29First on
38:30Champagny
38:38Those two guys
38:39Have gotten to see
38:40A lot of each other
38:41From game two on
38:42Remember
38:42Hartenstein
38:43Did not start
38:43The second half
38:44Of game one
38:45As they were looking
38:46For the right combinations
38:47This ball is out of bounds
38:49And we check in
38:50With Zora Stevenson
38:51At shoot around today
38:53The coaches had a long
38:54Stick to try and replicate
38:55The contests
38:56Isaiah would see tonight
38:57Hart credits his dad
38:58And growing up in Europe
38:59For his efficiency
39:00On that push shot
39:01He is from Germany
39:03Of course
39:04Would love to see
39:04His old NBA team
39:06One of them
39:07The Knicks
39:08In the finals
39:09In the finals
39:09A couple of years
39:10With the Knicks
39:10Has also been
39:12With Houston
39:13And Denver
39:13And Cleveland
39:14And the Clippers
39:15As well
39:16And this is a big
39:17Stretch right here
39:18For OKC Thunder
39:19They're chopping down
39:19This lead by the Spurs
39:21With no SDA
39:22On the court
39:23So if they can just
39:24Manage it
39:24Or cut into it
39:26That goes well
39:27For them going forward
39:29Kane's got that look
39:30He always likes to shoot
39:31He's not shy about it
39:32And he's got
39:34Ten points
39:35To lead the Thunder
39:36As they climb back
39:37Down 14
39:38At one point
39:39Now down four
39:41Caruso on Fox
39:42Fox almost stepped out of bounds
39:44Got the two
39:48Caruso asking
39:49Caruso asking
39:50For the hold
39:51On John Goble
39:53The official
39:53Tripped back
39:54To the other end
40:00Martin Stein
40:01Do it again
40:03A little deep
40:04What a box out
40:04By Carter Bryant
40:06Seeing Holmgren
40:07Go down
40:09Wemby pulling
40:10From three
40:10Got it
40:11Wemby on his first
40:13Three of the night
40:14And Mark Degno
40:15Calls for time
40:17That looked like
40:18That three in transition
40:19To tie the ball game
40:20Up in game one
40:22These two veterans
40:23They had the conversation
40:24Going with Goble
40:25I saw him right in front of us
40:26He did step out of bounds
40:28On the way to the basket
40:29For the two
40:30Meantime
40:31Caruso and Fox
40:32Going back and forth
40:32They just went back
40:33To their separate sidelines
40:34Smiling
40:35Two vets that know
40:36What it's about
40:36Wemby on Yama
40:37His first game seven
40:39Looks like every other challenge
40:41He is handling it right now
40:42He's got eight
40:43His team leads by nine
40:47Presented by Google
40:49The Spurs lead by nine
40:50Picking up full court
40:52Reggie Miller
40:53Jamal Crawford
