Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it's time for round four of the matchup of the season: the Spurs and the Thunder are getting ready to face off again. OKC will be bloodthirsty in their pursuit of revenge for how the previous three meetings went. They better be. Because a win here puts them in serious jeopardy of being swept by San Antonio, and that's an outcome they'll desperately want to avoid.
That's neither here nor there for the Silver and Black. This is another opportunity to forge themselves in the fire. OKC may not be on their way to breaking any regular-season win records, but they're still the defending champions, and they have a vast arsenal that can bury opponents if you're not careful.
