As the Oklahoma City Thunder prepare to host the San Antonio Spurs at the Paycom Center, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its impressive performance. The Thunder have been on a roll, with a recent nail-biting victory over the New York Knicks, where they edged out with 113 points against 112.

The team's efficiency game score of 95.6 against the Knicks speaks volumes about their ability to convert plays into points. With an assists turnover ratio of 2.42 and shooting percentages that reflect their offensive prowess (54 percent from field goals and 38 percent from beyond the arc), it's clear that ball movement and shot selection are strengths for this squad.


In another recent matchup at home against Phoenix Suns, OKC showcased its dominance with a resounding victory scoring 128 points while allowing only 103. Their efficiency game score soared to an outstanding 120.7, bolstered by an incredible true shooting percentage of nearly 69 percent.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing as demonstrated in their overtime clash with Houston Rockets where despite high scores on both sides (126-132), OKC fell short. Yet even in defeat, there were positives; notably their bench contributed a hefty 58 points indicating depth in talent.


With these trends in mind, fans can anticipate another thrilling encounter as OKC looks to capitalize on home-court advantage at Paycom Center – known for its electrifying atmosphere which could play into Thunder’s favor.
