Spurs 116-106 Thunder (Feb 4, 2026): A Dominant Win for San Antonio
The San Antonio Spurs dominated the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night, securing a 116-106 victory and extending their winning streak. Keldon Johnson led the way with 25 points, while Victor Wembanyama contributed 22 points and 14 rebounds, showcasing the team's depth and talent. The Spurs' strong performance against the reigning NBA champions was a testament to their resilience and determination.
De'Aaron Fox and Carter Bryant also played crucial roles, with Fox recording 15 points and 10 assists, and Bryant matching his season high with 11 points. The win marked San Antonio's second consecutive victory, narrowing the gap to just five games behind the Western Conference-leading Thunder.
Oklahoma City, facing a depleted roster due to injuries, struggled to keep up with the Spurs' momentum. Kenrich Williams and Jaylin Williams combined for 69 points, but the absence of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who missed the game with an abdominal strain, proved to be a significant setback. The Thunder's frontcourt, including Aaron Wiggins, couldn't match the Spurs' offensive prowess.
The turning point came in the third quarter when the Thunder's bench was sparsely populated, and San Antonio held a commanding 90-80 lead. Jordan McLaughlin, who had been limited to minimal playing time in previous games, made a significant impact with a 3-pointer, leading to a 12-2 run and a 42-26 lead for the Spurs.
This victory marked San Antonio's first three wins against Oklahoma City, including a thrilling 111-109 victory in the NBA Cup semifinals on December 13. The Thunder, on the other hand, have won just three of their last seven games, indicating a dip in form.
Looking ahead, the Thunder will host Houston on Saturday, while the Spurs will travel to Dallas on Thursday. The Spurs' recent success and their ability to overcome challenges make them a force to be reckoned with in the Western Conference.
