Spurs Rout Thunder 130-110 as Depth Leads and Win Streak Reaches Seven

San Antonio’s balanced scoring overwhelmed the defending champions with Victor Wembanyama on a tight workload ahead of a Christmas rematch in Oklahoma City.

Overview

  • San Antonio beat Oklahoma City 130-110 for its second victory over the Thunder in about 10 days, handing OKC its most lopsided loss of the season.
  • Keldon Johnson scored 25 points and Stephon Castle added 24, with Harrison Barnes contributing 20 as the Spurs outscored the Thunder 43-28 in the fourth quarter.
  • Victor Wembanyama, downgraded to questionable pregame for left calf injury management, came off the bench for 23 minutes and had 12 points as his blocks streak ended at 101 games.
  • The win extended San Antonio’s streak to seven and moved the Spurs to 22-7 and second in the West; Oklahoma City fell to 26-4.
  • Coach Mitch Johnson said Wembanyama’s minutes will remain a cautious, day-to-day decision, with the teams meeting again on Christmas Day in Oklahoma City.
