Thunder's postseason reveals need for upgrades after Spurs elimination
Summary

The Oklahoma City Thunder's hopes ended as they were eliminated by the San Antonio Spurs in Game 7. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's strong performance, scoring 35 points, the team struggled due to the underwhelming contributions from Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams. Holmgren had a particularly disappointing game, scoring just four points in 33 minutes. Following this setback, the Thunder are expected to reassess their roster, particularly the status of their so-called Big 3 as they prepare for next season.
