雷霆晋级之路
俄克拉荷马城在今年的季后赛中表现强硬，目前取得了8胜0负的战绩，先后横扫了菲尼克斯太阳和洛杉矶湖人。这八场胜利中有六场的分差达到了两位数。
高效的雷霆在季后赛的进攻效率和助攻失误比均排名第一。亚历山大场均砍下29.1分，投篮命中率超过51%。阿杰伊·米切尔 (Ajay Mitchell) 在去年的夺冠历程中场均仅得3.4分，而今年前两轮场均得分已飙升至18.8分。
内线的两位七尺长人在防守端犹如移动的混凝土——切特·霍姆格伦 (Chet Holmgren) 场均贡献3.2次“Stocks”（抢断+盖帽），而对手在面对以赛亚·哈尔滕施泰因 (Isaiah Hartenstein) 时的投篮命中率不足38%。马克·戴格诺特 (Mark Daigneault) 执教的这支球队正处于最佳状态。
身材高大的俄克拉荷马城通过对空间的积极压迫控制着攻防两端。亚历山大不断冲击篮筐并走上罚球线，而他的队友们则在无球状态下快速穿插。卡森·华莱士 (Cason Wallace) 和亚历克斯·卡鲁索 (Alex Caruso) 在外线防守中不知疲倦。近两年来，这支雷霆队一直以冷酷的方式掌控着比赛节奏。
杰伦·威廉姆斯 (Jalen Williams) 因一级腿筋拉伤缺席了整个对阵湖人的系列赛。虽然雷霆在没有他的情况下依然表现出色，但随着他确定在分区决赛复出，球队实力将得到进一步增强。
对于已经成为 NBA 历史上第14位蝉联 MVP 奖项的亚历山大来说，这是一个奠定历史地位的系列赛。而对于雷霆来说，这也是一个创造历史的机会，他们有望成为自“ 死亡五小 (Death Lineup)”时期的金州勇士以来，首支连续闯入总决赛的球队。更令人惊叹的是，卡鲁索是他们核心轮换阵容中唯一一位年龄超过28岁的球员。
马刺晋级之路
圣安东尼奥在季后赛中取得了8胜3负的不俗战绩，但在前两轮都经历了明显的惊魂时刻。
文班亚马在首轮对阵波特兰开拓者的第二场比赛中撞到头部倒地。他因脑震荡保护协议缺席了随后的比赛，但随后带着满腔怒火强势回归。
接着，这位马刺队身高7英尺4英寸的“外星人”在次轮对阵明尼苏达森林狼的第四场比赛中被驱逐出场。马刺输掉了那场比赛，系列赛被扳成2-2平……随后他们连赢两场大胜晋级：一场赢了29分，另一场赢了整整30分。对于米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 的团队来说，这是一次果断且优雅的调整。
圣安东尼奥在季后赛球队中防守效率排名第一。文班亚马在今年季后赛场均贡献恐怖的4.1次盖帽，此外还有20.3分和10.7个篮板。他的四名队友场均得分在12到19分之间——斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 19.9分，达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 18.8分，迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 13.7分，以及德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 12.5分。
朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 和凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 在三分线外手感火热；卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 作为替补中锋也表现稳健。即便对手试图加快节奏并削弱文班亚马的防守支柱作用，马刺的内外结合进攻看起来依然均衡且无畏。
和他们的宿敌一样，马刺也异常年轻。福克斯作为核心贡献者之一，年仅28岁已是队中老将。然而，一种内在的凝聚力让这支球队延续了队史往日的辉煌。虽然他现在的绰号是“老大 (El Jefe)”，但格雷格·波波维奇 (Gregg Popovich) 依然活跃在球馆里。这是圣安东尼奥自2016-17赛季以来首次挺进分区决赛，当时还是波波维奇在场边执教，科怀·伦纳德接过领袖重担。
凭借近乎不可能的柔韧臂展和对自我提升苦行僧般的投入，文班亚马迅速重塑了这项运动的维度。雷霆是一个强大的对手，但这位史上首位全票当选的年度最佳防守球员，拥有扮演“搅局者”的独特实力。
本赛季常规赛交手记录
马刺 4-1 领先。
是的，尽管雷霆取得了联盟最佳战绩，但他们似乎始终没能找到对付马刺的办法。
双方的首次交锋是在12月13日的 NBA 杯半决赛。圣安东尼奥以111-109艰难取胜。当时文班亚马正从腿筋拉伤中恢复并替补登场——他在不到21分钟的时间里得到22分，正负值为全队最高的+21。
随后在12月23日，马刺在主场大胜20分。尽管客队投篮命中率达到54.1%，三分命中率也有40%，但依然无济于事。文班亚马在那场比赛中出场23分钟且未首发，但替补出场的凯尔登·约翰逊表现最为关键，他16投10中高效砍下25分。
两天后的圣诞大战，圣安东尼奥在雷霆主场扮演了“格林奇（圣诞怪杰）”。福克斯19投砍下29分奠定基调，防守端则将雷霆的命中率限制在39%以下。
俄克拉荷马城唯一的胜利出现在1月13日，他们在主场以119-98取胜。文班亚马终于首发出场，但亚历山大以34分5篮板5助攻外加4次盖帽的表现占据了头条。威廉姆斯贡献20分提供火力支持。马刺在2月4日的第五次也是最后一次交手中取胜，但那场比赛雷霆轮换阵容的大部分球员都选择了轮休。
雷霆 vs. 马刺季后赛历史
俄克拉荷马城 2-1 领先。
自2008-09赛季西雅图超音速更名为雷霆以来，这两支球队在季后赛交手过三次。雷霆在2012年分区决赛中以4-2胜出——凯文·杜兰特 (Kevin Durant) 场均以53.2%的命中率砍下29.5分，而詹姆斯·哈登 (James Harden) 替补出场场均贡献18.5分，三分命中率超过60%。
马刺在两年后复仇成功，在2014年分区决赛中同样以4-2的比分取胜。蒂姆·邓肯 (Tim Duncan) 意料之中地以场均17.8分和10.2个篮板领衔全队，但波波维奇麾下紧随其后的两位得分手是替补席上的马努·吉诺比利 (Manu Ginóbili) 和鲍里斯·迪奥 (Boris Diaw)。凭借迪奥英雄般的26分表现，圣安东尼奥在加时赛赢下第六场，并最终夺得总冠军。
俄克拉荷马城在2016年季后赛次轮的一场紧张系列赛中打破了平局。尽管马刺那个赛季的主场战绩为40胜1负，但雷霆抢下了两场客场胜利从而晋级。第二场比赛出现了极具争议且充满身体对抗的最后阶段；第五场则由拉塞尔·威斯布鲁克 (Russell Westbrook) 强硬的35分表现定格胜局。
这三次系列赛全部打到了第六场。且看今年的对决是否会以某种方式打破这一规律。

How the Thunder got here
Oklahoma City is a steely 8-0 so far in this postseason, with convincing sweeps of the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers. Six of those eight wins came by double digits.
The efficient Thunder lead the playoffs in offensive rating and assist-to-turnover ratio. Gilgeous-Alexander has put up 29.1 points on better than 51 percent shooting. Ajay Mitchell, who scored just 3.4 points per game in last year’s title run, is up to 18.8 per game through two rounds.
The dual 7-footers have been motorized concrete on defense — Chet Holmgren is averaging 3.2 stocks (steals+blocks), while opponents are shooting below 38 percent against Isaiah Hartenstein. Mark Daigneault’s team is humming through the loud speaker.
Lengthy Oklahoma City controls both ends with its aggressive contortion of space. Gilgeous-Alexander slashes and gets to the line, as his teammates zip around off the ball. Cason Wallace and Alex Caruso are relentless in the perimeter lanes. For almost two years straight now, these Thunder have dictated game tempo in unforgiving fashion.
Jalen Williams missed the whole Lakers series with a Grade 1 hamstring strain. While OKC has clearly fared well without him, it will get a boost with him set to return for the conference finals.
This becomes a legacy series for Gilgeous-Alexander, who is now the 14th NBA player to win back-to-back MVP awards. And it’s a historic opportunity for the Thunder, who can be the first team to reach consecutive finals since the “Death Lineup” Golden State Warriors. Wilder still, Caruso is the only player in their main rotation over the age of 28.
How the Spurs got here
San Antonio is a strong 8-3 across playoff action, but it had palpable scares in both rounds.
Wembanyama hit his head and went down midway through Game 2 of the opening bout with the Portland Trail Blazers. He missed the subsequent game in concussion protocol, only to return with a righteous fury.
The Spurs’ 7-foot-4 extraterrestrial was then ejected from Game 4 of their second-round swing against the Minnesota Timberwolves. They took that L and dropped to a 2-2 series tie … then proceeded to win out in consecutive blowouts: one by 29 points and the other by a full 30. It was a definitive and graceful recovery for Mitch Johnson’s group.
San Antonio tops the playoff field in defensive rating. Wembanyama has an absurd 4.1 blocks per game this postseason, to go along with 20.3 points and 10.7 boards. Four of his teammates are averaging between 12 and 19 points — Stephon Castle at 19.9, De’Aaron Fox at 18.8, Dylan Harper at 13.7 and Devin Vassell at 12.5.
Julian Champagnie and Keldon Johnson have been hot from beyond the arc; Luke Kornet is holding his own as the backup center. The inside-out offense looks balanced and fearless, even when opponents try to push the pace and neutralize Wembanyama as an anchor.
Like their nemeses, the Spurs are precociously young. Fox is the eldest of their top contributors at just 28 years old. Yet a connective energy keeps this team in line with the franchise’s past glory. He now goes by “El Jefe,” but Gregg Popovich is very much still in the gym. This is San Antonio’s first conference finals berth since 2016-17, when Popovich roamed the sideline and Kawhi Leonard assumed the mantle.
Through his near-impossible elastic reach and a monkish devotion to self-improvement, Wembanyama has swiftly reimagined the dimensions of this sport. The Thunder are a formidable boss, but the first-ever unanimous Defensive Player of the Year is uniquely qualified to play spoiler.
Head-to-head matchups this season
San Antonio won 4-1.
Yes, even though the Thunder tallied the league’s best record, they couldn’t quite figure out the Spurs.
Their first meeting came in the NBA Cup semifinal on Dec. 13. San Antonio prevailed in a hard-fought 111-109 finish. Wembanyama came off the bench as he recovered from a calf strain — he scored 22 points in less than 21 minutes, and recorded a team-best plus-21.
The Spurs then won by 20 at home on Dec. 23. Their guests shot 54.1 percent from the floor and made 40 percent of their treys, to no avail. Wembanyama clocked 23 minutes but didn’t start that game, though it was Keldon Johnson who made the biggest difference off the bench with 25 points on 10-of-16 efficiency.
Two days later on Christmas, San Antonio played the part of the Grinch in OKC’s own gym. Fox set the tone with 29 points on 19 shots, and the defense held the Thunder below 39 percent shooting.
Oklahoma City’s lone win came on Jan. 13, a 119-98 home showing. Wembanyama finally started, but Gilgeous-Alexander made the headlines with a 34/5/5 line and added four blocks. Jalen Williams had 20 points in support. The Spurs seized the fifth and final matchup on Feb. 4, but the Thunder rested most of their rotation in that one.
Thunder vs. Spurs playoff history
Oklahoma City leads 2-1.
These franchises have met three times since the Seattle SuperSonics became the Thunder in 2008-09. The Thunder won the 2012 conference finals by a 4-2 mark — Kevin Durant averaged 29.5 points on 53.2 percent shooting from the field, while James Harden dropped 18.5 points off the bench and made more than 60 percent of his 3s.
The Spurs got their revenge two years later and took the 2014 conference finals in a reciprocal six games. Tim Duncan unsurprisingly paced his crew with 17.8 points and 10.2 rebounds per game, but Popovich’s next two leading scorers were bench options Manu Ginóbili and Boris Diaw. San Antonio closed out Game 6 in overtime, thanks to Diaw’s heroic 26-point effort, and then went on to win it all.
Oklahoma City broke the tie with a tense series victory in the second round of the 2016 playoffs. Although San Antonio was 40-1 at home that season, OKC stole two road Ws to advance. Game 2 featured a controversial, physical closing stretch; Game 5 was sealed by Russell Westbrook’s gutsy 35-piece.
All three of those series went six games. Let’s see if this year’s installment bucks the trend, one way or another.
