Why Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs Are Doomed to Torment the Thunder Again Tuesday

San Antonio neutralizes OKC’s three biggest strengths: Forcing turnovers, getting to the foul line, and athleticism. The Spurs are sixth in offensive turnover rate, third in points per game allowed off turnovers, and first in defensive FT/FGA rate. Oklahoma City physically overwhelms most teams, but not San Antonio.

Also, the Thunder’s half-court offense is suspect if they aren’t getting to the charity stripe. They are averaging 15.7 free-throw attempts in their three games vs. the Spurs, but OKC averages 24.4 free-throw attempts on the season. Essentially, it’s easier to play perimeter defense when you have the best defensive player in the world, Victor Wembanyama, protecting the paint.
