For the third straight time, San Antonio has toppled the reigning NBA champions, handing OKC three of its five losses in the 2025-26 season.

On League Pass, Cade Cunningham and the top-seeded Pistons pay a visit to the Jazz (9:30 ET). The Grizzlies, meanwhile, can secure a 9th victory in their last 13 games when the Bucks come to town (8 ET).

If the recent meetings between the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder proved anything, it's that the latest NBA rivalry officially has been born.

Three losses to the San Antonio Spurs later, a legitimate threat to Oklahoma City’s crown has emerged. San Antonio defeated the Thunder 117-102 on Thursday, handing Oklahoma City its first home loss of the season.

Even as Victor Wembanyama finds his way back into the Spurs' system, San Antonio has made a compelling case for top dog in the NBA.

The Spurs are on a seven-game winning streak, but the way they are winning is as impressive as the wins themselves.

Recent reports indicate that the San Antonio Spurs have emerged as a surprise contender for the Pelicans’ wingman amid growing trade buzz.

The Spurs have beaten the Thunder twice in 10 days, setting up a Christmas showdown that the NBA world will certainly be watching.
