Wembanyama's first game back from injury led Spurs to a 111-109 upset over Thunder, ending Oklahoma City's 16-game winning streak, Spurs now 24-2 this season.

  • On Dec 14, 2025, the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 111-109 in Las Vegas to reach the NBA Cup final, snapping the Thunder's 16-game winning streak.
  • Victor Wembanyama came off the bench for the first time Saturday after nearly a month sidelined by a left calf strain and played under a minutes restriction.
  • Teammates supplied scoring support, with Devin Vassell, Spurs guard, scoring 23, and De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle each adding 22, as San Antonio used a 13-point end-of-half run and a 10-point third-quarter spurt.
  • Oklahoma City's 16-game winning streak, last lost Nov. 5, ended as the Thunder were eliminated from the NBA Cup and San Antonio now faces the New York Knicks on Tuesday night.
