The Spurs haven’t had to wait long to get a shot at regular season redemption against the Thunder. It was only 8 days ago that the Spurs, fresh yet short-handed off a 5-game COVID-induced absence, fell in a heartbreaker to the Thunder in Oklahoma City, a last-second 3-pointer from Luguentz Dort proving to be the nail in the coffin. OKC followed that up with both a win over the Hawks and a loss to the Nuggets.
San Antonio, meanwhile, have largely rolled since then, picking up 2 wins and nearly a third in their loss to the Brooklyn Nets after some late-game heroics of their own.
