For NBA fans, the playoff run has been a historic one, as this will make the first Western Conference Finals game on NBC since Game 7 on June 2, 2002, that saw Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, and the Los Angeles Lakers defeat Chris Webber, Vlade Divac, and the Sacramento Kings, 112-106.

The Thunder enter the Western Conference Finals a perfect 8-0 in the post-season, sweeping both the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers. Oklahoma City looks to become the first team since the Golden State Warriors in 2018-2019 to advance to consecutive NBA Finals – and could become the first team since the Warriors in 2017-2018 to win back-to-back Finals.
 
As for the Spurs, they’re enjoying one of the most impressive turnarounds in NBA history. The team lost 60 games in the 2023-24 season, then turned it around and won 62 games this season and has now reached the Western Conference Finals — with hopes of going even further.
