Magic Johnson congratulates Spurs’ Mitch Johnson, Victor Wembanyama on WCF win

The San Antonio Spurs’ remarkable march to the NBA Finals has earned recognition from one of basketball’s most respected voices. Following San Antonio’s gritty 111-103 Game 7 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night, NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson took to social media to congratulate head coach Mitch Johnson, Victor Wembanyama, and the entire Spurs organization.

“I want to congratulate San Antonio Spurs Head Coach Mitch Johnson, superstar Victor Wembanyama, and the entire Spurs organization for advancing to the NBA Finals!” Johnson wrote shortly after the final buzzer.

The message served as another reminder of how quickly the Spurs have reemerged as one of the NBA’s premier teams. Much of the credit has gone to Wembanyama. He delivered another dominant all-around performance in the series-clinching win. Johnson’s calm leadership and tactical adjustments helped San Antonio overcome the defending conference champions. The Spurs’ defensive discipline proved especially critical in Game 7. They limited Oklahoma City’s offensive rhythm in key stretches to complete a hard-fought series comeback. With a showdown against the New York Knicks now awaiting, San Antonio enters the 2026 NBA Finals carrying not only momentum but also the respect of basketball royalty.

The Spurs’ 2026 playoff run has been one of the league’s defining stories. After dispatching the Portland Trail Blazers in five games during the opening round, San Antonio eliminated the Minnesota Timberwolves in six games. The Spurs battled the defending champion Thunder through seven intense games. A convincing Game 6 victory forced a deciding contest, and San Antonio responded with poise on the road to end Oklahoma City’s reign and book the franchise’s first NBA Finals appearance since 2014.
