De'Aaron Fox scored a game-high 29 points as the visiting San Antonio Spurs knocked off the Oklahoma City Thunder 117-102 to hand the Thunder their first back-to-back losses this season. The Spurs have won eight consecutive games -- which does not include the NBA Cup final loss to the New York Knicks on Dec.

Jalen Brunson scored 34 points, reserve Jordan Clarkson had 25 and the New York Knicks came from 17 down in the fourth quarter to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 126-124 on Thursday and win on Christmas Day for the third straight year.

While the Spurs latest blowout vs. the Thunder has put the Thunder on notice, Victor Wembanyama is keeping reactions at bay.

Once the calendar flips to 2026, Oklahoma City will play Detroit, San Antonio, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Toronto, Minnesota, Orlando, New York and Boston twice. With so many quality matchups, it was difficult to narrow the list to five key games after Jan. 1, 2026.

NBA: San Antonio Spurs dominates Oklahoma City Thunder for its eighth straight win, while New York Knicks and Golden State Warriors secure thrilling victories in recent matchups.

The San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder meet Thursday at 2:30 p.m. ET at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
