The San Antonio Spurs survived a furious last-minute comeback attempt from the Oklahoma City Thunder as they leaned on their defense to shut the door on the contest. Although they allowed a 16-point cushion to fade into a single-digit deficit during the fourth quarter, the good guys ramped up their intensity and found a way to escape with a dub.
Keldon Johnson led the Silver and Black with 22 points and seven boards. Jakob Poeltl recorded a dominant double-double on his way to 20 points, 17 rebounds, five assists, and two blocks. Dejounte Murray ended with 18 points, seven rebounds, and eight dimes, as every member of the starting lineup scored in double figures on Wednesday night.
