Chet Holmgren’s Western Conference Finals Performance Was Worse Than You Think

Chet Holmgren wilted in Game 7 of the Western Conference finals. His deficiencies were on full display as the Thunder fell to Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs 111–103. He had an extremely bad night in the series finale, but a look at the numbers shows just how bad he was throughout the entire seven-game stint. While Wembanyama rose, Holmgren fell.

We’ve all seen Holmgren’s disastrous Game 7 line. In 33 minutes, he was 1-for-2 from the field, 2-for-4 from the free-throw line and had four rebounds, no assists, two blocks, two steals and two turnovers. His four points were the fewest he has scored in a game since Game 6 of the NBA Finals last season. That total came in 24 minutes of playing time as the Pacers topped Oklahoma City 108–91.
