The San Antonio Spurs continued their impressive run, defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder 117-102 on Thursday for their third victory in the past two weeks. This marks a remarkable turnaround for the Spurs, who have now secured consecutive wins over the defending NBA champions. The Spurs dominated the Thunder, with De'Aaron Fox leading the charge with 29 points. Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle also contributed significantly, scoring 19 points each. The team shot an impressive 53.6% from the field, while holding the Thunder to a meager 38.9% shooting. The Spurs' victory extends their winning streak to eight games, while the Thunder suffered their first home loss of the season. Oklahoma City, who were previously undefeated at home, slipped to 2-4 in their last six games, including three consecutive losses to the Spurs. The Thunder's star player, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, struggled to find his rhythm, making just 7 of 19 field goals. Isaiah Hartenstein and Chet Holmgren were the only bright spots for the Thunder, with 13 points and 12 rebounds each. The Spurs will look to continue their winning momentum when they host the Utah Jazz on Saturday. Meanwhile, the Thunder will face the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday, hoping to bounce back from their latest defeat.
