The Oklahoma City Thunder were able to hold off the San Antonio Spurs, 112 - 106, in the season opener for both squads on Wednesday. The Thunder were unsurprisingly led by their two co - stars, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, who combined for 55 points. Westbrook finished with a game - high 33 points, but it was the 10th and final assist that he handed out Wednesday night that spelled the difference for the home team. With the clock ticking down with about four minutes left in the fourth quarter, Westbrook found Durant for a go - ahead three - pointer. Durant would push Oklahoma City’s lead to five with another three with less than a minute to go, giving new coach Billy Donovan his first NBA win. For the Spurs, all eyes were on new acquisition LaMarcus Aldridge, who didn’t quite have the impact fans might have been hoping for his team debut. He finished with just 11 points on 4 - for - 12 shooting, but still finished as the team’s second - leading scorer. That’s mostly because Aldridge and his teammates let Kawhi Leonard go to work in this one, with the swingman establishing a new career high with 32 points to go along with eight boards. Oklahoma City will aim to push its record to 20 on Friday in Orlando, while San Antonio returns home Friday for a date with Brooklyn.
