Game 2 opened with Oklahoma City still favored by 7 to 7.5 points Wednesday night, even after San Antonio stole the series opener 122-115 in double overtime.
Victor Wembanyama drove that upset with 41 points, 24 rebounds and 3 blocks, including a 27-foot tying 3-pointer, while the Spurs held Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to 24 points on 7-for-23 shooting and Chet Holmgren to 8 points.
San Antonio also won key possession battles in Game 1, finishing plus-21 in rebounds and plus-10 in free-throw attempts—edges the analysis argues fit its season-long profile rather than a one-game fluke.
The case for an OKC rebound leans on the usual Game 2 bounce-back for big favorites, but analysts flagged Alex Caruso's 31 points on 11-for-19 shooting as the more likely outlier from the opener.
That split leaves the market backing the Thunder to respond, even as one featured prediction still takes Spurs +7.5 while projecting an Oklahoma City 108-104 win.

Is this the series where Victor Wembanyama surpasses the two-time MVP as the NBA's most dominant force?
