The Spurs aim to beat the reigning NBA champions again, while Dylan Harper has a nice surprise for a local car company.

SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder are set to clash on Tuesday night with the Spurs up 3-0 against the defending NBA champs.

And OKC guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is expecting a competitive game and is fully aware San Antonio has been the better team in the first three contests.

“I haven’t thought about it yet, but since we’re here, we’ve got to win. Just like every other night, you wake up, and you want to win a basketball game. Now, it’s obviously a very good team who’s gotten the better of us recently,” said Gilgeous-Alexander. “So yeah, it should be a fun one. It should be competitive. We’ve got to go out there and do the necessary things to win a game. And if we don’t, we’ll most likely lose.”


In a nutshell, the Spurs have sped up the Thunder, forced OKC to take tough shots, limited easy looks at the rim, and Victor Wembanyama’s defensive presence has frustrated the Thunder in the paint.

The Spurs-Thunder matchups are must-see TV despite Wemby claiming it is not a rivalry, yet.

“I think we’re not quite there yet,” he said. “They’re (OKC) in their own tier, but in the future, if we reach that level, it would be great to have a rivalry.”

DYLAN HARPER SURPRISES LOCAL CAR DEALERSHIP WITH AN AUTOGRAPHED JERSEY

Rookie Dylan Harper is car shopping and recently turned to April Ancira of the “Ancira Auto Group” for help in searching for the right ride.

To thank April (and her husband Jason), Harper, for their efforts, he gifted them an autographed jersey with a nice message:

“April & Jason Ancira: I appreciate all of your help looking for a car. Hope we can work together soon. Happy holidays,” Harper wrote.

According to April, everyone involved is working on a demo deal and will circle back soon about which car he will ultimately pick.

Perhaps it’s the 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS that recently arrived at the Ancira Volkswagen lot.
