In one of the most competitive Western Conference Finals of all time, the San Antonio Spurs prevailed against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It was quite a superb series, but only one team could advance, and this time, it was the Spurs.

Despite losing to the Spurs, the Thunder did have some significant players sidelined. Ajay Mitchell missed the majority of the series, while Jalen Williams missed out on playing Game 7 after a premature return in Game 6.
Cason Wallace believes the Spurs are still a 'beatable' team after the WCF
As one of the standout players who helped Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in Game 7, Cason Wallace can hold his head high. He was superb in the do-or-die game, but he has always been a consistent defensive standout for OKC.
Unfortunately, the rest of the team struggled to keep up offensively, which led to the Spurs winning the series. However, the Spurs are not a perfect team because they still almost lost to a short-handed Thunder squad.

Wallace made sure to point this out in his post-game interview after Game 7. He probably does not mean any disrespect to the Spurs, but he did give an honest take on the team that just beat the Thunder.
"They're a good team. Beatable team, obviously we beat them, but we gotta do things better for a longer period of time," Wallace said after Game 7 in his post-game presser.
It might sound like sour grapes, but Wallace does make a valid point. This series would have been so much better for the Thunder had Mitchell and Williams played. Unfortunately, that was not the case, and the Thunder lost because of it.
They can run it back in the 2026-27 season, but it will be interesting how the Thunder adjusts. They still have a fantastic core group of players led by arguably the best player in the league.
