Why Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren are ‘excited’ about NBA Cup loss to Spurs
What Thunder All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren react to their NBA Cup semifinals loss to the Spurs.
A high-stakes win over the Oklahoma City Thunder proves that Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs are a legitimate threat to even the NBA's apex predator.
The Thunder (24-1) have won a franchise-record 16 in a row. They destroyed the Phoenix Suns in a 138-89 win to advance in the NBA Cup on Wednesday. They led by as many as 53 points. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 28 points and eight assists in three quarters.
In NBA Cup semifinals Saturday, Stephon Castle and Co. held Oklahoma City to just 109 points, 14 below its season average.
Oklahoma City didn’t play its best basketball on a big stage in a loss to the Spurs.
