A consistent combination of performances from multiple Thunder players aided in its fourth win of the season.
A nearly flawless performance from Thunder big man Chet Holmgren led OKC to a 105-93 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. The win is the fourth consecutive one for OKC, leaving them as one of two undefeated teams remaining in the NBA, alongside the Cleveland Cavaliers.
He scored 15 opening-half points, only six of which came in the first quarter. Both were three-point makes, practically his only weakness so far in the early parts of the season. The second quarter was the Thunders' best from the perimeter the entire game, going 7-for-12. Two of those triples came from guard Lu Dort and the rest from Holmgren, star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, rookie Ajay Mitchell and Isaiah Joe.
OKC nearly got the lead to 20 points early in the third quarter but allowed the lead to narrow shortly after. San Antonio caught fire from the perimeter in the third quarter with big triples from Barnes and forward Keldon Johnson. Johnson's triple with 2:33 remaining in the period cut the lead to 77-70, giving the Thunder a bit of a scare. A three-point make from Joe gave OKC a little more breathing room, ending the quarter with an 82-70 lead.
