Shai Gilgeous-Alexander reacts after Spurs beat Thunder for third time in 11 days

Spurs take control again

The San Antonio Spurs handed the Oklahoma City Thunder a convincing 117-102 loss, marking the third time in just 11 days that the Spurs have beaten them. This latest defeat felt especially lopsided, and it underlined a recurring problem for the Thunder against San Antonio.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led Oklahoma City with 22 points, but he struggled to find his rhythm, shooting 7-of-19 from the floor. Even with his scoring, the Thunder couldn’t keep pace on the night.

Frank reaction and the road ahead

After the game, Gilgeous-Alexander didn’t mince words. He said the team needs to improve collectively and that everyone has to look in the mirror if they want to reach their goals. Losing to the same opponent three times in a short span, he added, is a clear sign that adjustments are necessary.

Despite the setback, the Thunder remain atop the Western Conference with a 26-5 record. They’ll turn their focus to their next home matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers as they try to bounce back.
