The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 117–102 on December 25 at Paycom Center, with De'Aaron Fox leading the way on 29 points and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander pacing the hosts with 22. San Antonio's offensive efficiency proved decisive, shooting 53.6 percent from the field while holding Oklahoma City to 38.9 percent; both teams made 11 three-pointers, but the Spurs' superior overall shot quality made the difference. The visitors' first quarter set the tone at 41 points, establishing early momentum that Oklahoma City never fully recovered from despite a 36-point opening frame of their own. San Antonio finished with a 122.8 offensive rating against Oklahoma City's 105.2, while committing 12 turnovers to the Thunder's 7—a costly margin in a game that finished well below the Vegas total of 234.5. Spurs reserves Stephon Castle added 19 points off the bench, and San Antonio's 49 rebounds matched Oklahoma City's board production despite the efficiency gap. The loss leaves Oklahoma City searching for consistency on the road, while San Antonio's balanced attack and defensive clamp-down signal a potential playoff-caliber performance.
