San Antonio defeated Oklahoma City 116–106 on February 4 at Frost Bank Center, with K. Johnson leading the Spurs with 25 points and V. Wembanyama adding 22 in a defensive grind that finished well below the Vegas total of 221.5. The Spurs controlled the early pace, jumping out to a 39-point first quarter before tightening their grip defensively in the second half, outscoring the Thunder 43–48 over the final two quarters. Oklahoma City's K. Williams and J. Williams combined for 49 points, but the Thunder shot just 39.8 percent from the field and committed 14 turnovers compared to San Antonio's 12, while the Spurs' 11 steals disrupted OKC's offensive rhythm. San Antonio's defensive rating of 101.8 proved decisive against Oklahoma City's 111.8, and the Spurs' 14 made threes on 44.6 percent shooting provided enough spacing to weather the Thunder's 19 three-pointers. The loss leaves Oklahoma City searching for consistency as the conference race intensifies.
