Two of the hottest teams in the league collide in the NBA Cup semifinals for their first meeting of the 2025-2026 season. The Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs have combined for just one loss in December and will both ride momentum into their Saturday night prime-time matchup.
The Thunder bring an NBA-best 24-1 record into the meeting and have not lost since dropping a 121-119 contest to the Portland Trail Blazers on Nov. 5. The defending champions look even better this season than ever before and enter the semifinal matchup off a dominant 138-89 win over the Phoenix Suns.
The Spurs enter the game on a mini two-game win streak and winners in four of their last five outings. San Antonio has surprisingly been one of the most consistent teams over the last month, going 9-3 in it
