Thunder Crush Spurs Behind Gilgeous-Alexander's 34-Point Explosion
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was unstoppable as he dropped a season-high 34 points to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to a convincing 119-98 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night. The Oklahoma City bench came alive, with Jalen Williams adding 20 points and Chet Holmgren contributing eight points, 10 rebounds, and three blocks in a well-rounded performance. The Thunder’s defense also held strong, containing the Spurs’ offense and limiting them to just one shot per possession at times. As the Thunder continued their push for a winning streak, Gilgeous-Alexander was the catalyst, driving to the basket with ease and knocking down shots from beyond the arc. With the win, Oklahoma City improved its record against San Antonio this season, and the team is now looking to build momentum heading into their next contest. The Spurs struggled to contain Gilgeous-Alexander’s athleticism, but ultimately fell short in their bid to stop him. Despite a strong effort, San Antonio was unable to overcome the Thunder’s balanced attack, which saw multiple players contribute to the victory.
