Joy Taylor recaps the Spurs eliminating the defending champion Thunder 111-103 in Game 7 to win the West, led by West Finals MVP Victor Wembanyama (22 points, seven rebounds) and Julian Champagnie (20 points, six clutch threes), while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 35 points and nine assists but little help, including four points from Chet. Taylor previews the NBA Finals with San Antonio vs. the Knicks, noting New York’s better regular-season record and Game 1 Thursday at Madison Square Garden, and discusses SGA calling the season a “failure” despite being the one seed and a two-time MVP, citing his series efficiency dip against the Spurs’ defense. She also shifts to the NFL, arguing the 49ers must reduce Christian McCaffrey’s workload after 413 touches, especially with rookie Isaac Guerendo sidelined by a torn pectoral, and notes historical drop-offs after 400-touch seasons.
