Latest news and updates about the Spurs
After a classic Game 1 in which the Spurs led most of the time over the Thunder despite no De’Aaron Fox but had to overcome their own mistakes and ride some Wemby Magic to a double-overtime victory, we continue our third Fraternizing with the Enemy series of these playoffs with Cray Allred of the Daily Thunder. […]
After Monday night’s double-overtime extravaganza, the Spurs were taking Tuesday to themselves to rest and reset for Wednesday night’s Game 2. Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson, Devin Vassell, and Julian Champagnie gave some time to the media to answer some questions regarding the events of the last twenty or so hours. After the press conference […]
The Spurs took homecourt advantage from the Thunder in Game 1, which became an instant classic. While missing De’Aaron Fox, who might still be out a while longer, they went to Oklahoma City and handed the home team its first loss of the entire playoffs in double overtime. Now they’ll look to take a commanding […]
The NBA’s Western Conference Finals series got off to a hot start last night as the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs battled into double-overtime before the Spurs emerged victorious. Today the other side of the bracket activates as the New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers play for supremacy in the Eastern Conference and […]
It's only one game, but it was quite the statement game that Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs made in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals (aka the "real" NBA Finals this season). Wemby posted 41 points and 24 rebounds in the Spurs' 122-115 double-OT win. His counterpart at the 'five' for OKC, Chet Holmgren, recorded just eight points and eight rebounds. Already, pundits are debating what the Thunder should do if they fall short against the Spurs and don't make the Fi...
Game 1 of the 2026 Western Conference Finals between the Spurs and Thunder will go down as one of the most epic playoff games for both the Spurs and NBA — something this rivalry has had a knack for generating over the last 15 years. The young Spurs led most of the time against the […]
As poorly as the 2025-26 season has gone for Liverpool, it’s gone quite a bit worse for West Ham. London’s Hammers appear a near-lock for relegation, as they would both need to beat Leeds on the final day and for Spurs to earn no points from their final two matches against Chelsea and Everton. If, […]
In my life as a god-fearing, basketball-watching, Spurs-loving human being, I’m not sure I’ve ever hated a shot more than that three Victor took from the logo. As soon as he pulled up I shouted NO. It felt like time stopped. I could sense my life flashing before my eyes. Everything good in the world […]
WOW. What an incredible way to start this series, and what a statement game from Wemby. Furthermore, even though this game was close, it was actually characterized by some HUGE box score differentials for each team. In other words, this wasn’t a game in which the Spurs collected the win by registering lots of tiny […]
The window for NBA titles may be closing.
The Western Conference Finals started with a bang Monday night as the San Antonio Spurs took out the Oklahoma City Thunder, 122-115 in double overtime. Mason Plumlee did not get off the bench again, but he’s 36 now and his role is limited: he’s a reliable big man for spot duty as needed. His career […]
Just before the tip off of Game 1 Western Conference Finals, the Oklahoma City crowd was treated to their super star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander receiving his MVP trophy. At the other end of the court, Victor Wembanyama was warming up. The question on the minds of many was exactly what Wemby’s response would be. In a […]
The OKC Thunder have been the favorites from day one. Their historic start to the season set the tone, and no one was surprised when they swept their way throu
The noise inside Paycom Center was deafening long before tipoff. Thunder fans arrived expecting the defending NBA champions to make another statement. Oklahoma City had spent the season looking untouchable, rolling through the Western Conference behind back-to-back MVP guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the league’s deepest roster. Across the floor stood a young San Antonio Spurs […]
Game one of the NBA Western Conference finals is in the books and it was an instant classic. The San Antonio Spurs stole game one against the Oklahoma City Thunder, in double overtime, 122-115 behind a 41-point, 24-rebound performance from Victor Wembanyama. OWembanyama’s performance will forever be talked about but what will be overlooked is […]
This is just the first game of the Western Conference Finals, but it’s one of the greatest playoff games in the history of the league. The Spurs, without the services of their veteran point guard De’Aaron Fox got almost 49 minutes from Victor Wembanyama, Dylan Harper, and Stephon Castle. Victor scored 41 points with 24 […]

I’ve said before that one of my favorite things about being editor-in-chief of this website is reaching out to the writers that cover other teams and having conversations with them. The Fraternizing with the Enemy series is one of the things of which I’m most proud from my tenure at PtR. So when I say […]
With Cleveland’s 125-94 beat-down of Detroit Sunday night, the NBA Eastern and Western Conference Finals are set, and three of the four teams are represented by Duke’s Brotherhood: Cleveland has Tyrese Proctor, San Antonio has Mason Plumlee, and Oklahoma City has Jared McCain. In other words, if New York falls to Cleveland, a Duke guy […]
There hasn’t been a playoff series since the 2018 Western Conference Finals that carries as much anticipation as the upcoming Spurs-Thunder clash, and for good reason. Both teams could upset Adam Silver’s precious era of parity, and the only thing stopping one of them from becoming a dynasty is, well, the other. OKC has already […]
