The Spurs are embarrassing the world champion Thunder this season. On Christmas Day in Oklahoma City, the Spurs beat the Thunder for the their third straight time. San Antonio made a statement with efficient shooting and balanced scoring, while Oklahoma City struggled to find consistent offense beyond Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. OKC cannot execute its bread and butter against San Antonio: they can't force turnovers, they can't wall off the paint, and they can't keep shooters contained. The Spurs, on the other hand, have slowed down OKC and won on their terms: just four of the 19 three-point attempts given to Lu Dort and Alex Caruso made it through the net, while Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams, and the rest of the Thunder were all held to 13 or fewer points.
