The OKC Thunder have undoubtedly discovered their biggest threat to a championship repeat, and, to much surprise, it's the Spurs.
After starting off the year with a 23-2 record, Oklahoma City has split their last six games, with all three of their losses coming against San Antonio.
A Christmas Day drubbing served as their most recent experience of defeat at the hands of Victor Wembanyama and company, as the Thunder lost by a final score of 117-102.
While this ongoing losing streak against San Antonio may have some questioning whether OKC has the ability to best the rising Western Conference club in a seven-game playoff series, in an odd way, it could actually be seen as a positive, for it directly sheds light on what area of play, in particular, they need to fix as they chase their second consecutive title.
