What happened: The San Antonio Spurs are back in the NBA Finals after winning the Western Conference finals, according to SportsCenter's post. Social reaction in the context bundle says the Spurs eliminated the Thunder and advanced to the title round.

Why it matters: The result moves the San Antonio Spurs from a conference breakthrough into a championship series. It also ends Oklahoma City's repeat bid and sets up the Finals matchup referenced in the context bundle.

By the numbers: The West finals reached Game 7 after San Antonio forced a decider with a 118-91 Game 6 win. NBC's Game 7 preview listed San Antonio as the West's No. 2 seed against No. 1 Oklahoma City, with the winner moving into the NBA Finals.

What to watch: Watch for the official Finals schedule, injury reports and Game 1 availability updates. Rotation and matchup details should clarify once the league releases the series setup.
