Thunder superteam may have found their kryptonite with this alarming trend

On Saturday, the OKC Thunder lost a nail-biter to Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Cup semifinals.

Oklahoma City jumped out to a commanding 16-point lead, but the Spurs went on to outscore them 78-60 in the final 27 minutes of the game.

Arguably the biggest reason for this was rising superstar Victor Wembanyama.

Versatile bigs seem to be kryptonite for Thunder

In his first game back from a prolonged injury absence, he came off the bench and completely changed the game. He filled up the stat sheet in just 21 minutes, scoring 22 points while registering nine rebounds, two assists, and two blocks.
