The Oklahoma City Thunder opened their season with a 116-104 road win over the San Antonio Spurs, according to NBA.com. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 32 points.

Holmgren helps limit Wembanyama
Victor Wembanyama made one field goal on 13 attempts and committed four turnovers, NBA.com reported. His only basket came on a tip-in near the end of the third quarter.
Chet Holmgren was among the Thunder’s defenders tasked with challenging Wembanyama. Rookie Aday Mara also played 12 minutes in his NBA debut and scored seven points.
Gilgeous-Alexander leads the way
Gilgeous-Alexander’s 32 points led Oklahoma City in the season-opening win. NBA.com said the performance extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to 141.
The result gave the Thunder an early win over a team they faced in last season’s conference finals. As a single season-opening game, it did not decide a playoff series or conference qualification.
