The Oklahoma City Thunder open their 2026-27 NBA season with a 116-104 win over the San Antonio Spurs. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scores 32 points as the Thunder control the game, while Spurs star Victor Wembanyama manages 12 points and struggles from the field.
Coverage across outlets also highlights Wembanyama’s shooting woes and the Thunder’s focus on their star guard. One report notes Wembanyama misses his first 12 shots and adds that his lone field goal comes on an alley-oop pass from De’Aaron Fox as time expires in the third quarter. Other previews and live-coverage pieces frame the matchup as a Western Conference rivalry and a rematch angle centered on MVP-candidate comparisons, with some outlets emphasizing fan reactions to Wembanyama’s first-half performance.
