Thunder's Streak Alive as Spurs Host Game 3 After SGA's 30-Point Effort

Oklahoma City thundered into San Antonio on Wednesday with a 122-113 Game 2 win, sending Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 30 points and 9 assists into the spotlight. The Thunder have now won nine straight games following a postseason loss since the 2024 Western Conference semifinals, the longest such streak since Miami's three-peat run from 2012-14. A Game 3 visit to the AT&T Center puts the Spurs at home for the first time in the series.

San Antonio holds a 3-2 home record this postseason and catches a break on the injury front. De'Aaron Fox, nursing an ankle issue, and Dylan Harper, dealing with right adductor soreness, are both cleared to play. Fox has not suited up once this series, while Harper contributed 12 points in 25 minutes during Wednesday's win. Jalen Williams, however, exits the series entirely with a left hamstring injury after logging just seven minutes in Game 2.

The Spurs need to hold serve at home while the Thunder ride momentum without Williams. SGA's nightly double-digit scoring has anchored Oklahoma City's postseason identity, and nine consecutive wins after a loss is not a fluke. Game 3 shapes up as a must-watch before the series shifts again.
