It's a showdown between two Western Conference rivals on the hardwood as the San Antonio Spurs (1-2) head to Oklahoma to face the Oklahoma City Thunder (3-0) on Wednesday night.
Following their win over the Hawks on Monday, the hosts improved to an impressive 3-0 to start the season. In contrast, San Antonio struggled in their Sunday matchup, falling to the Houston Rockets at home, which dropped them to a 1-2 record.
There’s been significant buzz out of the Thunder's preseason camp about increasing their three-point attempts, and they've certainly delivered on that goal so far.
On the other side, despite adding experienced players like Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes to support Rookie of the Year Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs haven't had the season kickoff they’d envisioned.
Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch the Oklahoma City Thunder vs the San Antonio Spurs NBA game, plus plenty more.
