Spurs-Thunder will be record-tying 5th Game 7 in NBA this season
It is the year of Game 7.
For the fifth time in this year’s playoffs, a series is coming down to the ultimate game.
San Antonio will visit Oklahoma City on Saturday night in Game 7 of the Western Conference finals.
The others this season: Philadelphia beat Boston on the road in Round 1, Cleveland beat Toronto in Round 1, Detroit beat Orlando in Round 1 and Cleveland beat Detroit on the road in Round 2.
The five Game 7s this season tie the most in a single postseason.
There also were that many in 1994, 2014 and 2016.
