The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the San Antonio Spurs , 102 - 92 , Thursday at Chesapeake Energy Arena . The Spurs ( 50 - 14 ) were able to keep it close for a quarter before the Thunder ( 36 - 29 ) managed to slowly build up their lead , quarter by quarter , on their home floor . Oklahoma City was once again led by Russell Westbrook , who recorded his 31st triple - double of the season Thursday with a game - high 23 points , 13 assists and 13 rebounds in 35 minutes . Victor Oladipo added 20 points of his own on 8 - of - 14 shooting , while the team 's bench showed up in an impressive way , accounting for 44 of the team 's 92 points . For San Antonio , it was a sluggish performance for them as they were playing their third game in four days , and they saw their nine - game win streak come to an end as a result . Kawhi Leonard led the way offensively for the Spurs , although he shot just 6 - of - 15 from the field en route to scoring 19 points . LaMarcus Aldridge added 18 points of his own to go along with six rebounds , while the only other Spur to score in double figures was Pau Gasol , who came off the bench to score 18 points in 24 minutes . As a team , it was a performance to forget shooting the ball for San Antonio , as they hit just 42 percent of their shots from the field Thursday . Up next , the Thunder will stay home Saturday to play the Jazz , while the Spurs will look to get back on the right track against the Warriors on Saturday . Enes Kanter , averaging over 14 points and nearly seven rebounds per game this season , has quietly been a crucial part of this Thunder team coming off the bench . Kanter has been the primary bench player for Oklahoma City all season , and when he is at his best , so are the Thunder . Thursday , Kanter recorded his 15th double - double of the season with 14 points and 11 rebounds and Oklahoma City managed to get a much - needed victory over the Spurs , as the team was riding a four - game losing streak prior to that . And while Russell Westbrook also notched his 31st triple - double of the season in the victory , the key relationship is between Kanter double - doubles and the Thunder 's success . In the 15 games where Kanter has recorded a double - double this season , Oklahoma City is 11 - 4 , showing that more often than not , when Kanter is productive in his role , so is the team .
