  • Alex Caruso pushed an NBC camera away from Oklahoma City's bench huddle after regulation ended in the Thunder's 122-115 double-overtime loss to San Antonio in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals.
  • 31 points from Caruso — a playoff career high after averaging 6.2 in the regular season — helped force overtime when Shai Gilgeous-Alexander tied the game at 101-101 with a late layup.
  • 41 points and 24 rebounds from Victor Wembanyama still swung the game for the Spurs, making him only the second player after Wilt Chamberlain to post 40-plus points and 20-plus rebounds in a conference finals debut.
  • San Antonio also got double-doubles from Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper, the first playoff trio in NBA history aged 22 or younger to all record double-doubles in one game.
  • Game 2 is set for Wednesday night in Oklahoma City, where the Thunder will try to contain Wembanyama and even the series.
