Fresh off two of their worst losses of the season to a pair of sub .500 teams, the Thunder prepare to face the surging San Antonio Spurs twice in three nights- in San Antonio tonight, back in Oklahoma City on Saturday. The Spurs are the hottest team in the league entering tonight; they’ve largely lrighted the ship after a rocky start had them outside of the playoffs early in the season. It’s a long season, but the Spurs have thrust themselves back into the playoff race and into the conversation for best team in the West, non-Warriors division.
