Thunder coach Mark Daigneault has emphasized the team’s commitment to the process over results. In Wednesday’s game, led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 26 points, they dominated the undermanned San Antonio Spurs 127-89.

Despite missing key players, the Thunder stuck to their game plan, jumping to an early 11-0 lead. Coach Daigneault praised their disciplined approach on both ends of the court.

Josh Giddey’s 20 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists contributed to their third consecutive win. The victory improved their record to 55-25 overall.

Gregg Popovich rested star player Victor Wembanyama for long-term health reasons. Despite the loss, Popovich saw value in his young players gaining experience. The Thunder’s win solidified their position near the top of the Western Conference standings.

Daigneault reiterated the team’s focus on continuous improvement rather than fixating on their standings as they approach the final stretch of the season.
