The defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder are suddenly under pressure heading into Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals after suffering a shocking 122-115 double-overtime loss to the San Antonio Spurs in Monday’s opener.
It marked Oklahoma City’s first defeat of the 2026 NBA Playoffs and immediately shifted momentum toward a confident Spurs squad that continues to exceed expectations.
Now, the Thunder return to the court Wednesday night at Paycom Center desperately looking to avoid falling into a dangerous 0-2 series hole before the matchup shifts to San Antonio.

Spurs Suddenly Look Like Real Title Threats
Much of the attention entering the series focused on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Oklahoma City’s championship pedigree, but the Spurs completely changed the narrative in Game 1.
Victor Wembanyama delivered another dominant postseason performance, while rookie guard Dylan Harper stepped up in a huge way filling in for injured star De’Aaron Fox.
San Antonio’s physical defense, length, and composure late in the game created serious problems for the Thunder, especially during overtime.
