The OKC Thunder and San Antonio Spurs are building up to be the league's next big rivalry, and, though it was largely believed that motivation to topple the other was solely coming from the Lone Star State, following their NBA Cup Semifinal bout last weekend, it's more than apparent that it's actually a two-way street.
When discussing Oklahoma City's 111-109 loss directly following the contest, superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was quick to highlight how excited he was to "find growth" following their tournament elimination, and that he's looking forward to trying to exact revenge on the Spurs in the not-too-distant future.
