The OKC Thunder’s team contribution and the second-quarter comeback wasn’t enough as the DeRozan-less Spurs took over as soon as they arrived on the court, at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Since the Spurs were on a five-game losing streak and four places below the Thunder coming into this game, it was expected that OKC would be able to come out on top.
But there was definitely no doubting that an organization like the Spurs would come out invigorated and inspired to give their all.
That was just what they did, led by LaMarcus Aldridge and Dejounte Murray who combined for 50 points.
