San Antonio (12-48) held its own against Western Conference powerhouse Oklahoma City (41-18) over the first three quarters before closing out the Thunder in dominant fashion to secure the home victory. With six Spurs scoring in double figures, it was the Thunder for once that withered down the stretch.

San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama (28 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, and 5 blocks) and Devin Vassell (28 points, 9 assists, and 2 blocks) stood tallest with Keldon Johnson (10 points and 4 assists) supplying early offense off the bench. Zach Collins (13 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists) turned in one of his finest offensive efforts as scorer and facilitator.

Oklahoma City Chet Holmgren (23 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists) was unable to counter Wembanyama in the fourth, while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (31 points and 6 rebounds) and Jalen Williams (26 points and 6 rebounds) paced the Thunder in defeat. Isaiah Joe (15 points) contributed hot shooting off the bench.
