OKC snaps Spurs’ 20-year streak in Saturday’s win
After losing 104-94 against the OKC Thunder on Saturday, the San Antonio Spurs will officially conclude this season with a losing road record for the first time in 20 years.
The OKC Thunder claimed a much-needed win on the strength of a vintage triple-double by Russell Westbrook and a rare strong outing by the bench. Put the emphasis on the bench, specifically their work on the defensive end. The reserves’ defense was key for Oklahoma City as Jerami Grant and Patrick Patterson both held their own in the absence of Steven Adams, who sprained his ankle halfway through the game.
