The Oklahoma City Thunder is heading to the NBA finals after beating the San Antonio Spurs for the Western Conference Championship.
The Thunder was down by 15 points at the half, but came back to beat the Spurs 107 to 99 thanks to the leadership of Kevin Durant who scored 34 points.
Durant played all 48 minutes and says he’ll have to bring a lot of energy against either the Boston Celtics or Miami Heat whichever team wins the east.
“It’s going to be tough, a tough road for us. We’re looking forward to that opportunity. It’s a great feeling right now, but tomorrow we just got to get over it and see who we play.”
The Celtics have a chance to win the series tonight in Boston.
The Thunder will have home court advantage against either team with the finals starting Tuesday night.
