Tensions flared Sunday night when three players were ejected from a Thunders-Spurs clash. With Oklahoma City leading by six with a little more than three minutes to play in the third quarter, San Antonio forward Jeremy Sochan skied in for a dunk.

The Thunder went on to win 146-132, improving to 49-11 on the season. The Spurs, on the other hand, dropped to 25-34. Oklahoma City is back on the court Monday against the Houston Rockets (8 p.m. ET), while San Antonio returns to action Tuesday against the Brooklyn Nets (8:30 p.m. ET).

Even with Chet Holmgren and Victor Wembanyama on the bench in street clothes instead of uniform, the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs featured fireworks that showed a heated rivalry despite a sea-sized talent discrepancy.

Sunday was different. As the Oklahoma City Thunder wrestled away control of the game from the San Antonio Spurs, they also flashed just how special this season

Even though Dort and Williams were lost to ejections, it was the adrenaline rush the Oklahoma City Thunder needed to speed past the San Antonio Spurs in a 146-132 win. The video-game-esque affair was both a season-high points scored and points allowed for OKC.

When these two teams played the night before, the Thunder left the door open and De’Aaron Fox pushed his way in and got the Spurs the win. Jalen Williams slammed that door shut on Sunday night, scoring a career-high 41 points to get the Thunder a little revenge and the win.
