The Western Conference Finals will come down to a winner take all Game 7. This entertaining series has been an example of the pendulum effect. Not one of these games have been objectively "close". Games 1 and 2 were won by seven and nine points respectively. However, the other four games have been decided by 13-to-27-point margins.

For the Spurs, the blueprint is simple. When Victor Wembanyama scores 20 points and gets double digit rebounds and is a presence defensively, they win. Stephon Castle and Devin Vassell doing an admirable job defending Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a welcomed bonus, especially in the last two games. 

Oklahoma City however, has won three games in this series without a 'good' performance from SGA. Even after wins, SGA has admitted he has not yet had a good game in this series. In Game 6, he finished with 15 points on 33% from the field; his worst scoring game all season. Even after a 32 point, 9 assist performance in Game 5, SGA called it maybe his worst start to a game in his career. 

The Thunder have been a presumptive favorite to represent the West in the NBA Finals since before the playoffs began. A loss before the NBA Finals would be deemed an upset. Even though the Spurs have only two less wins on the season. A win tonight would also put the potential future face of the League (Wembanyama) in his first NBA Finals of his young career.
