Open Extended ReactionsThe San Antonio Spurs' comeback win over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Saturday's NBA Cup semifinal had to be encouraging for contending teams that weren't in Las Vegas last weekend. With Wembanyama on the court, Oklahoma City made just 7 of 21 2s (33%). Both were in the starting five, as Oklahoma City shot 23 of 53 (43%) inside the arc in that 121-119 loss. They rank 28th, making this the only one of the four factors on offense or defense that Oklahoma City isn't in the top 10. We won't get a look at how New York matches up with Oklahoma City until March, when the two contenders meet twice in possible Finals previews.
