Heading into last night\u2019s game, the Thunder had a lot to prove and a lot riding on winning this game. They pulled out all the stops including starting the game by mocking the Spurs post game cheer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The taunting didn\u2019t end there as both teams came out swinging.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Wemby played with an agenda, going at Chet Holmgren each time he had the ball. No move on Holmgren looked better than the corner rejections by Wembanyama.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The taunting was rampant on both sides. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander made a move to trip Victor Wembanyama.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It wasn\u2019t the only time the Thunder were overly aggressive with the Spurs big man. Victor his the hardwood multiple times throughout the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Eventually, Steph Castle had enough and gave SGA a shove, picking a technical up himself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It didn\u2019t go way the Spurs had hoped, but as it stands, San Antonio will probably be the only team to win a season series against the reigning champs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Welcome to the Thread.
