Last night's NBA Cup semifinal between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs lived up to its billing. Mitch Johnson's team played in a game with true playoff intensity and earned a 111–109 win against the reigning champions.

Former NBA head coach Stan Van Gundy called for San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama to change his nickname from "Alien" to something else.

The Spurs, Rockets, and Thunder don't seem to be interested in making a trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo if he becomes available.

Danny Green is convinced that the San Antonio Spurs have a bona fide star in Stephon Castle. The three-time NBA champion even shared that the young player is making a strong case to be part of a Big Three setting alongside Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox.

Johnson's early 3-point barrage helped the Spurs beat the Lakers and get to Las Vegas, where Victory Wembanyama might return.

They had a 111-109 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in the 2025 NBA Cup semifinals. Anytime OKC loses, the entire NBA world celebrates. Missing 12 games, Victor Wembanyama ensured he'd be back for this matchup — even if it meant under restricted minutes.
