The Spurs nearly pulled off an impressive victory coming out of their 9 day layoff, but fell at the last possible moment to the Thunder on a buzzer-beating three pointer 102-99. Missing multiple starters and several rotation players, the Spurs came into the game with a patchwork roster, and though there were several solid stretches of basketball, the lack of shared playing time and the absence of their usual closers proved to be too much in the end.
The Thunder were led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s career high 42 points to go with 8 rebounds and 4 assists and capped their victory with a wide open Luguentz Dort three pointer from the right corner.
