Spurs-Thunder Game 1: 12 numbers that defined Victor Wembanyama's and San Antonio's historic double-OT victory over OKC

The San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder packed a seven-game series worth of drama into their Western Conference finals opener. Game 1 took two overtimes to decide with Victor Wembanyama finally pulling the Spurs to a 122-115 victory in a history-making performance.

Here’s how the instant classic broke down by the numbers:

Games the Thunder have lost in the 2026 NBA playoffs after Monday night.

NBA rookies who have ever had a playoff game with at least 20 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and five steals: Magic Johnson and Dylan Harper, who totaled 24 points, 11 rebounds, six assists and a Spurs playoff-record seven steals in Game 1.

Players in NBA history with a 40-20 game in the conference finals or later: Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Elgin Baylor, Moses Malone, Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal and Wembanyama, who is the youngest player ever to do it at 22 years and 134 days old. Abdul-Jabbar, then known as Lew Alcindor, was the previous youngest at 22 years and 352 days, according to ESPN research.

Points Wembanyama scored in double OT. The Thunder totaled seven.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s +/- during his 51 minutes on the floor.

Rebounds by Wembanyama, the second-most ever by a Spurs player in a playoff game. Only Tim Duncan in Game 5 of the 2002 Western Conference semifinals against the Los Angeles Lakers had more.

Age of Devin Vassell, the oldest starter in the Spurs’ Game 1 lineup. With Dylan Harper (20), Stephon Castle (21), Wembanyama (22) and Julian Champagnie (24) joining Vassell, the Spurs’ average age of 22 years, 346 days was the youngest starting lineup in NBA conference finals history.

Feet from the rim when Wembanyama pulled up for the game-tying 3-pointer with 27 seconds left in OT. It was the only 3-pointer he made in the game and just the second he attempted.

Points Alex Caruso scored in 31 minutes off the bench for the Thunder.

Points Wembanyama totaled, matching his most of the season. Only three players in Spurs history have ever scored more in a playoff game: George Gervin, Tony Parker and Kawhi Leonard.

Minutes Wembanyama played, the most of his career. His previous high was 43 minutes, 18 seconds in a double-OT game against the Philadelphia 76ers on April 7, 2024, during his rookie season.

The last time an NBA conference finals game has gone to double OT. (Golden State Warriors vs. Phoenix Suns)
