The Key Matchup: Spurs vs. Thunder
Tonight marks a highly anticipated rematch between the Spurs and the Thunder, just over a week after their intense semifinal clash in the NBA Cup in Las Vegas. San Antonio stands out as one of the only three teams to have defeated Oklahoma City this season, and notably, the Spurs now sit as the second seed in the Western Conference, courtesy of a six-game winning streak (excluding the NBA Cup final).
A significant point of interest surrounding this game is the status of Victor Wembanyama, who has been officially listed as “questionable” for the matchup. Regardless of Wembanyama’s availability, the Thunder will be eager for payback, and their determination could pose a serious challenge for the Spurs.
Catch the action at 2:30 AM!
