Keldon Johnson was instrumental in this early surge, contributing significantly to the team's offensive prowess.
Second Quarter
Continuing their momentum into the second quarter, the Spurs maintained their lead by adding another 34 points. The Thunder managed to score 32 points but struggled to close the gap. Victor Wembanyama's presence in defense was felt as he recorded multiple blocks and rebounds, keeping OKC at bay.
Third Quarter
The third quarter saw a slight dip in scoring for both teams; however, San Antonio still held firm control over the game. With only 22 points scored by each team during this period, it was evident that defensive strategies were being emphasized on both ends of the court.
Fourth Quarter
In what could be described as a tactical battle in paint dominance, both teams scored an equal number of points again—21 each—in the final quarter. Despite OKC's efforts led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s playmaking abilities and their impressive three-point shooting percentage of 40 percent throughout the match, they couldn't overcome San Antonio's robust defense and effective field goal percentage of 45 percent.
The final score read Spurs' victory at home: 116-106 against Oklahoma City Thunder—a testament to their strategic execution and teamwork on court.
