[H3] 2026 Playoffs: West Final | OKC (1) vs. SAS (2)
[H1] Spurs vs. Thunder has the ingredients to be a rivalry ... but it's not there yet
From the standpoint of potential, Spurs-Thunder could someday rank with the greatest in-conference rivalries ever.
[IMG: Shaun Powell]
Shaun PowellArchiveMay 23, 2026 6:03 AMBoth the Thunder and Spurs have young cores, with Kia MVP contenders, smart front offices and solid coaches.
• Download the NBA App
SAN ANTONIO — This is a wish that can be envisioned, publicized, perhaps rationalized. But above all, in order to be taken seriously, it must be realized. And in the case of Oklahoma City vs. San Antonio, the rivalry that the basketball world desperately craves and anticipates, well that hasn’t happened yet, not now, not three games into the Western Conference Finals.
And not until the Spurs make it happen.
Until further notice, the Thunder remain in control and command, bringing more troops, smarter adjustments, better composure and all the plays when it truly matters.
They’re up 2-1 in the series after swatting away the Spurs’ 15-0 run to start Game 3 and eventually cruised with room to spare Friday in a breezy 123-108 win. The one-game margin in the series might not seem comfortable, at least until context is applied.
Because here are the unimpeachable details so far:
The Thunder have been without Jalen Williams for nearly two games with nagging and recurring hamstring issues; he of course is the former All-NBA player who serves as OKC’s scoring wingman to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
The Spurs needed not just a colossal performance from Victor Wembanyama to capture their lone win, but his deep 3-pointer to force a second overtime in that win.
And when the series shifted to their home court Friday, the Spurs were rather flat overall, Wembanyama in particular wasn’t impactful, while Dylan Harper and De’Aaron Fox are clearly dealing with lingering effects from injury.
Meanwhile, the Thunder’s strength in numbers once again is devastating. They are reserves in name only, and they outscored the Spurs’ bench by an incredible 76-23. Jared McCain was insane with 24 points and showed he’s much more than a 3-point shooting threat. In this series, the bench totals are 183 for the Thunder — OKC’s subs have scored 50-plus in three straight games — and 64 for the Spurs.
Jared McCain (22 points) and Jaylin Williams (18 points) both score playoff career-highs as the Thunder bench propels them to win.
Conversation can change quickly in these playoffs; we’ve seen it happen many times. It’ll just require more from the Spurs, a young team trying to skip a few steps in its transition into a championship contender and scary enough to pull that off … soon.
But right now? Against OKC, the defending champions? The only team in this series that has been there and done that already?
“It’s the first playoffs for me, for us,” said Wemby. “Of course there’s going to be hard trials. That is expected. But now we’re going to see what we’re made of.”
A rivalry needs to be evenly contested in order to be classified as one. The four wins by the Spurs over OKC during the regular season certainly raised possibilities. But there’s a difference between playing a game on a random February night, and in a best-of-seven series where adjustments can be made and lessons are learned and clues are unlocked.
It’s a roundabout way of saying rivalries, like trees, need to mature. This one hasn’t.
From the standpoint of potential, then yes, Spurs-Thunder could someday rank with the greatest in-conference rivalries ever, right with those Philadelphia 76ers vs. Boston Celtics classics featuring Julius Erving and Moses Malone, Larry Bird and Kevin McHale. These rivalries aren’t between teams in separate conferences and therefore aren’t playing for the NBA championship, but that makes it even harsher. Because the loser won’t even get a shot at a title and might be better qualified that the East team that reaches the Finals.
The ingredients in this rivalry recipe are apparent and real, though. Both teams have a young core, with Kia MVP contenders and depth, the front offices are smartly run, the teams are well coached and there’s no sign of locker room drama.
And it has spice: A chippy third quarter was prolonged Friday by hard fouls delivered by both teams. Alex Caruso chopped Stephon Castle. When Ajay Mitchell moments later clubbed Castle, pushing and shoving ensued. Next up? Wemby lowered his shoulder into Chet Holmgren, driving the Thunder center into the ground. However, there was no hair-pulling this time; Isaiah Hartenstein, guilty a few nights earlier, kept his fingers away from Castle’s dreads.
So in addition to being somewhat evenly matched, these teams don’t appear to be fond of each another, precisely the sour flavor a rivalry needs to be fully appreciated.
The Spurs and Thunder are also stocked with assets to nourish and improve the rosters over the next several years, which could sustain excellence for both teams. These two will think of each other whenever they make a trade and sign a free agent; everything will be done with “how will this help us against them” in mind.
They will not, however, make deals with each other. Coincidently, OKC president Sam Presti cut his teeth in the Spurs organization decades ago, but you can imagine the Spurs have since told him to lose their number. The Thunder and Spurs will talk trade when hell freezes over … twice.
In the meantime, it’s up to the Spurs to get this rivalry going sooner rather than later.
Wemby is dealing with an OKC defense that’s constantly adjusting and making him guess. One minute it’s Caruso, who surrenders more than a foot, guarding him, then a chunky Hartenstein, then a lengthy Holmgren, then a physical Jaylin Williams. Each offer different looks and degrees of sharp elbows.
Victor Wembanyama finishes with 26 points in a 123-108 Game 3 loss to the Thunder.
He has done so much to bring the Spurs this far, and with the exception of a few lapses has been brilliant for much of this series and the postseason. He feels he needs to reach another level, and quickly.
“I have trouble making my teammates better right now,” he said. “My shooting has been terrible. I need to be more of a team player. Rebound better, facilitate better.”
It’s not just Wemby. A bigger issue is the availability and health of Fox and Harper. Fox made his series debut but, after a fast start, appeared to re-injure his ankle. Harper left Game 2 with an adductor injury and Friday labored through 17 minutes, scored just six points.
“All we can do is just ask as much from them as they can give,” said Spurs coach Mitch Johnson.
And OKC knows how to rub the Spurs the wrong way. If it’s not Shai getting creative to draw fouls (he went 12-12 from the line Friday), it’s the rough play that’s designed to unravel the young Spurs.
“There’s no place for frustration,” said Wemby. “It’s annoying, of course, but we gotta use that as energy. They’re physical but the difference in that team is they’re experienced. They may be more smart about it.”
If the Spurs fail to draw even Sunday, this rivalry might soon be placed on hold. If so, it will eventually be worth the wait. Because this features Shai, a two-time MVP, and Wemby, who might soon have a string of MVPs. It has Wemby’s “ethical” comment from earlier in the season regarding OKC’s controversial style of play. It has the Spurs’ fans who directed “flopper” chants at Shai. And so on.
The folks who’ll eventually draw the most enjoyment from Spurs vs. Thunder will be basketball fans on the outside. Meanwhile, in San Antonio and Oklahoma City, the stress level will be steep.
It’s not exactly that way right now, at least not in OKC. There’s a season, right now, that in order for this series to develop suspense, it’s up to the Spurs.
“We’re going to have to find the answers,” said Wemby.

• Download the NBA App
SAN ANTONIO – Operating on little sleep, befitting a coach seeking a second consecutive NBA championship, Oklahoma City Thunder coach Mark Daigneault met with reporters Saturday morning.
It was at the Thunder team hotel in a unique library room surrounded by a diverse collection of titles: Under the Texas Sun: Adventures of a Young Cowpuncher; Western Water Made Simple; The Ranch That Was Us; Handbook of Data on Organic Compounds; and Maps of Paradise.
It was about 12 hours after he left Frost Bank Center with his Thunder up 2-1 following Friday’s 123-108 victory against the San Antonio Spurs in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.
He attended a postgame team dinner, met with his parents, and “then I watched the film last night,” Daigneault said. “I usually watch film the night of the game. I’m usually pretty wound up after the game anyways.”
The start of the game could’ve induced nightmares as the Spurs took a 15-0 lead. From that point on though, it was all Thunder – an unusual 123-93 run – and Daigneault could rest easier before waking up and getting ready for Game 4 Sunday.
“We had a great win last night, and you just know Game 4, you’re going to have to really earn it if you want to go get that game,” Daigneault said, “and so the gears just start turning on that.”
Here are three things to watch in Game 4 on Sunday in San Antonio (8 ET, NBC/Peacock).
[H3] 1. What can Wembanyama deliver in Game 4?
The Thunder defeat the Spurs, 123-108, in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals to take a 2-1 series lead.
The Thunder won’t be so presumptuous as to think they’ve figured anything out against Victor Wembanyama. For starters, that would be foolhardy. Also in the series, the Spurs have a positive net rating when Wembanyama is on the court, scoring 114.2 points and allowing 108 points per 100 possessions.
Problem is, the Spurs can’t keep him on the court for the entire game, and the Thunder are crushing it in the non-Wembanyama minutes. In the nine minutes Wembanyama was on the bench in Game 3, the Thunder outscored the Spurs 35-16, including 15-5 in the first quarter and 9-0 in the second quarter.
“We can’t play him 48 minutes, so you can’t lose by 20 in those minutes,” said Spurs coach Mitch Johnson. “There’s a combination of who are we playing, what are we running, what’s the game plan during that time, and I’ve got to make sure I help that group, and the group when Victor’s in there has to be better, too.”
Wembanyama still had 26 points in Game 3, but there have been diminishing returns in certain areas of his production. Let’s start with rebounding. He had 24 rebounds in Game 1, 17 in Game 2 and four in Game 3, including nine offensive rebounds followed by five followed by zero. His paint points have decreased from 26 in the Spurs’ series-opening victory to 10 paint points in each of the two losses.
In other words, the Thunder are doing a decent job of making sure Wembanyama doesn’t dominate the paint especially with easy dunks.
Oklahoma City has found success defending him with multiple defenders, including Alex Caruso, Isaiah Hartenstein, Chet Holmgren (first-team All-Defensive selection this season) and Jaylin Williams. According to NBA data, a different Thunder player each game has spent the most time on Wembanyama.
It’s different players, different looks and different levels of physicality in attempt to wear down Wembanyama.
“Vic creates our advantages for us more than anybody else,” Johnson said. “That’s very easy to observe. The way we execute those advantages throughout the season has been with our three guards (De’Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper) mostly with the basketball in their hands. Just being blunt, those guys aren’t 100% right now.
“So we have to adjust while not changing how we play but understanding how we can continue to take advantage of those things. … We have to continue to evolve and that’s what goes into being in a chess match and they’ve done some good adjustments.”
[H3] 2. Thunder enjoying road success
The Thunder remain unbeaten on the road in the playoffs (5-0) and are now 10-5 in playoff road games the past two seasons.
“It’s hard to win playoff games on the road,” Daigneault said. “As you saw last night, that took all of our best punch to win that game the way we did last night. And it still wasn’t easy despite the fact that it was a 15-point win. It’s challenging. You don’t graduate to it. It’s going to be just as hard (Sunday) night.”
In five road playoff games this season, the Thunder give up more points than at home but they also score more points on the road than at home, too.
A road win in Game 4 would put the Thunder up 3-1 in the series and send it back to Oklahoma City for a chance to close out. That would lock in a return to the NBA Finals for the second consecutive season.
“You’ve got to have a presence of mind, emotional regulation and the ability to cut through distractions and execute with poise and confidence,” Daigneault said. “And this team has that, and that does grow the more that you’re in the situations and this team’s done a great job of that.”
[H3] 3. A deeper look at Thunder’s deep bench
Jared McCain (22 points) and Jaylin Williams (18 points) both score playoff career-highs as the Thunder bench propels them to win.
This bench stat is generating discussion: Oklahoma City’s bench has outscored San Antonio’s bench 183-64 in the series, including 76-23 in Game 3. The 76 points were the most a bench has scored in a conference finals game since the conference finals debuted in 1970-71.
Those are staggering numbers.
Of the Thunder’s 47 3-pointers through three games, the bench has made 37 of them and is shooting 48.5% from the field and 44% on 3s. Thunder reserves also have accounted for 24 of the team’s 35 steals.
Alex Caruso scored a playoff career-high 31 points in Game 1, four non-starters reached double-figures in points in Game 2 and Game 3, including 24 from Jared McCain and 18 from Jaylin Williams in Game 3. Williams is shooting 58.3% on 3s.
Cason Wallace was named to the NBA’s All-Defensive Second Team on Friday, and he opens the game on the bench. He’s averaging 10.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 steals and shooting 50% from the field.
“We have a lot of guys that we trust,” Daigneault said. “We also play in a way that demands a lot of energy. We play with a lot of pressure. We provide a lot of help, which puts us in longer closeouts. We want to be a great transition defense team. … We want to crash the offensive glass. Everything we want to do that gives you the best chance to win requires energy and there’s different ways to do that.
“You can try to condition eight guys to doing that, and that can be successful. But when you have a team as deep as we are, we choose to deploy those guys and keep fresh legs on the court.”
