On Wednesday, the Thunder beat the San Antonio Spurs 105-93 to move to 4-0 this season. The Thunder have not only won these games, they have dominated.
After beating another Western Conference contender in the Denver Nuggets to open the season, the Thunder have faced three teams that missed the playoffs last season. Considering the Thunder’s youth, it would have been natural to let one of those games slip. Instead, they are still yet to play a clutch minute this season.
Wembanyama is not the only star who has failed to perform at their normal level against the Thunder. In the Thunder’s home opener against the Atlanta Hawks, they held Trae Young to 24 points and eight assists, his only game without a double-double this season, while forcing him into 10 turnovers.
