The San Antonio Spurs (52 - 26) continued their torrid stretch Tuesday with a 113 - 88 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder (42 - 36) at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. This game was nearly over before fans could settle into their seats as the Spurs jumped out to a 29 - 10 lead after one quarter. The rout was on from there as the Thunder failed to get into a rhythm on offense and simply could n't get stops to cut into the lead. Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook was held in check, finishing with 17 points, two rebounds, and two assists in 26 minutes before being rested for the fourth quarter. San Antonio has now won eight games in a row and are putting pressure on the teams ahead of it in the Western Conference playoff standings. San Antonio has beaten the likes of Golden State, Memphis, Dallas, and Oklahoma City (twice) during its current win streak. Kawhi Leonard led the charge for the Spurs, scoring 26 points in 24 minutes on the floor. The lone blemish for the Spurs in Tuesday's game was Tony Parker, who missed of the second half with tightness in his Achilles. The Spurs could have just been exercising caution with their veteran guard as they held a 26 - point lead at halftime and have another Game Wednesday against Houston. Oklahoma City once seemed to be a near lock for the eighth seed in the West, but a four - game slide has sent the Thunder tumbling out of the playoff standings. The Pelicans got the win Tuesday and are now in the driver's seat for the last playoff spot. Oklahoma City is at a disadvantage down the stretch because New Orleans holds the head - to - head tiebreaker over the Thunder. On the injury front, Andre Roberson returned to action after missing two and a half weeks with an ankle injury. He finished with five points and two steals in 18 minutes of action. The Thunder will look to snap their losing streak Friday when they host the Kings.
