Thunder remind Spurs of their championship pedigree in statement-making opening win

The Oklahoma City Thunder opened their campaign with a 116-104 victory over the San Antonio Spurs, asserting their championship experience in a physical matchup. Defensive pressure limited Victor Wembanyama to a single made field goal on thirteen attempts, while De'Aaron Fox struggled with a new rotation and logged a career-low usage rate.

Tensions flared in the second quarter when a hard foul by Fox on Chet Holmgren sparked a scuffle that resulted in technical fouls for Jalen Williams, Jaylin Williams, and Enrich Williams.
