Bismack Biyombo posted a message of faith and momentum after the Spurs’ 111-103 Game 7 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Finals, a result that sent San Antonio back to the NBA Finals in Year 3 of the Victor Wembanyama era.
When the Spurs won Game 7 on the road, it didn’t just end a Western Conference Finals struggle — it carried San Antonio all the way back to the NBA Finals in just Year 3 of the Victor Wembanyama era.
San Antonio finished Oklahoma City off 111-103, punctuating the night with a statement dunk from Devin Vassell. For a team that has been rebuilding with an eye on the future, the path to this moment was anything but smooth.
They had to overcome the Thunder in hostile territory in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals, and they did it with a lineup that could go ten deep on paper but preferred to lean into an eight-man rotation in the face of adversity.
That kind of detail matters in a series like this: when games tighten, roles tighten too. And while the Spurs roster includes veterans brought in to steady a young core, Bismack Biyombo stands out as one of the most influential voices in the locker room.
Biyombo is 33 years old and. even with his status no longer that of a playoff rotation mainstay. he has remained integral to this Spurs team. After the win, he marked the occasion by celebrating the blessings he believes have kept him moving forward. On Instagram. Biyombo captioned his post with a message that linked faith to the next stretch: “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion. 4 more wins. #Godisgreat ,”.
His presence in San Antonio didn’t happen by accident. Biyombo first signed with the Spurs in February 2025. He played 28 games to close out the 2024-25 season, starting 26 of them.
San Antonio needed frontcourt help after Wembanyama’s 2024-25 campaign ended prematurely because of a blood clot, and Biyombo answered the call. That effort clearly left an impression inside the organization, which brought him back for the current season.
As the Spurs improved and the roster adjusted, Biyombo’s role shifted. He played fewer games in the regular season this time around, appearing in 25 contests, and he fell out of the rotation.
Still, the Spurs’ turnaround has made it easier to understand why teammates keep valuing what he brings beyond minutes. Biyombo has also built a reputation across the league for humanitarian efforts. and that combination — veteran leadership in tough moments and a commitment off the court — is part of why he remains an easy player for millions to root for.
With the Spurs back in the NBA Finals, the caption lands like a promise from someone who understands how quickly seasons can change — from being needed immediately, to being rotated away, and then returning to the center of the moment when it counts again.

4 more wins, amen lol.
So Wembanyama had a blood clot and they just… signed Biyombo? That’s wild. Also the caption “God is great” feels like they’re basically praying their way to a title.
I don’t even know if any of this matters. Game 7 was basically just Devin Vassell dunking and whatever, right? Like faith is cool but the Thunder choke every year. Spurs only made it cause OKC forgot defense.
Faith and momentum, huh. I’m glad he’s doing humanitarian stuff too, but I’m kinda confused on the timeline—he signed in Feb 2025 but then it says “Year 3 of the Victor Wembanyama era.” Isn’t that like earlier than 2025? Either way, 111-103 isn’t close but I guess you need the “8-man rotation” thing when the games tighten.
