OUTCOME
CONFIRMED FALSEIn Game 7 of the 2026 Western Conference Finals (May 30-31, 2026), SGA did score more points (35 vs. Wembanyama's 22), but Wembanyama led the Spurs to a 111-103 victory and was named Western Conference Finals MVP for the series. Wembanyama averaged 27.3 PPG and 10.9 RPG across the series, and his performance in Game 7 — while not his highest-scoring — was considered competitive and winning. SGA scoring more in a losing effort does not equate to 'completely outplaying' Wemby, who was dominant enough across the series to win Finals MVP.
