Victor Wembanyama is headed to the NBA Finals, and the basketball world is still processing it. The San Antonio Spurs knocked off the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder in a Game seven thriller Saturday night, one hundred eleven to one hundred three, with Wemby dropping twenty two points and grabbing seven boards. The kid called it a childhood dream, and right now, nobody's arguing with him.
The Thunder's collapse, though, falls hardest on Chet Holmgren. With Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell both sidelined, Oklahoma City needed their seven foot one All-NBA big man to be a force in a winner-take-all game. He wasn't. Holmgren was a ghost when the moment demanded a presence, and that disappearing act may define how this Thunder era gets remembered in the short term.
Shifting to the diamond, Texas A and M rolled past Texas State seventeen to two in the College Station Regional, pounding out twenty hits and getting ten strikeouts from Weston Moss. But the bigger story is star sophomore lefty Aiden Sims, who has not taken the mound, and the speculation surrounding his availability for the rest of the postseason is growing louder by the hour.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
