The defending champions are not invincible, and the team that proved this was the San Antonio Spurs, who defeated them twice in the season. Even though the first win was by just two points, the recent faceoff saw the Spurs dominating the matchups. Yet with strong outings against the other sides, the OKC remains at the top of the league.
The OKC team tops the defensive rating in the 2025-26 season while standing fifth in the offensive rating. The season average score is 121.9 points, just below the Nuggets. The Reigning Finals MVP continued his form and could challenge for the regular season title again.
Youngsters Chet Holmgren, Alex Caruso and Jalen Green have also become an integral part of the OKC’s recent dominance. Holmgren has been effective on the board, while Caruso and Green have put pressure on both ends.
The team averages 44.6 rebounds per game (12th in the league) and 5.3 blocks per game (9th in the league). The team has 10.4 steals, putting them in the second position. The side keeps the offensive flow running with controlled plays, giving away an average of 12.7 turnovers and with 25.9 assists per game.
The San Antonio Spurs are one of the top sides living up to their standard of ‘high-end executions’. The team has a new face and a top performer, Victor Wembanyama, who will be one of the dominating forwards in recent history. The Frenchman broke multiple records, putting the side in the NBA Cup finals, nearly singlehandedly.
DeAaron Fox’s addition provided them a firm back-court ball handler who is explosive on scoring, too. He is another building block for the team’s future, who is contributing with high numbers.
The Spurs rank fourth in the league with an average of 120.4 points and an offensive rating of 118.2. Defensively, the San Antonio franchise moved up to the seventh position after recent games, boasting a 112.2 rating.
Behind the former top pick, Wembanyama, the Spurs dominate the paint region and average 45.9 rebounds per game (fifth in the association) and 4.8 blocks per game (15th in the NBA). Covering up the passing lanes and intercepting the opposition's offence, the side amassed 8.4 steals per game, which ranks them 15th in the association.
