NBA regular season action at Frost Bank Center
On Wednesday, 21 October 2026, the San Antonio Spurs welcome the Oklahoma City Thunder to Frost Bank Center in San Antonio for an NBA regular season clash. The game is set to tip off at 01:30 UTC, promising an intense encounter between two teams still searching for consistency.
Current standings and season form
The Spurs enter this game sitting 10th in the standings after five matches, having won twice and lost three times. They have scored a total of 572 points while conceding 544, giving them a positive goal difference of 28. The Thunder, meanwhile, are 14th with a record of one win and four losses. They have scored 549 points but conceded 585, resulting in a negative goal difference of 36.
Recent performances suggest momentum shift for Spurs
San Antonio’s recent form shows a turnaround as they have won their last two games following a run of three consecutive losses. Their latest victories were emphatic, beating the Sacramento Kings 126-97 at home and the Phoenix Suns 123-103 at home as well. Prior to those, the Spurs had fallen 109-119 away to the Utah Jazz, 98-102 away to the Phoenix Suns, and 116-123 at home against the Atlanta Hawks.
The Thunder have struggled to find rhythm this season. Their only win in the last five matches was a narrow 114-112 home victory over the Indiana Pacers. Surrounding that, they have suffered losses to the Houston Rockets (89-116 away), Atlanta Hawks (110-113 away), Milwaukee Bucks (126-128 home), and New Orleans Pelicans (110-116 home).
Head-to-head and match context
The Spurs and Thunder both have work to do to climb the standings. San Antonio’s recent home form, with two high-scoring wins, could provide a platform for further success. Oklahoma City’s defence has leaked points across their last five games, conceding an average of 117 points per game, which could be a concern against the Spurs’ potent offence averaging over 114 points per game in their last five matches.

Fans in the United States can catch all the live action on NBC when the Spurs and Thunder go head to head at Frost Bank Center. The game promises to be a competitive fixture in the early stages of the NBA season.
