What to Know
Having just played yesterday, the Oklahoma City Thunder will head out on the road to face off against the San Antonio Spurs at 9:30 p.m. ET on January 24th at Frost Bank Center. The Spurs do have the home-court advantage, but the Thunder are expected to win by seven points.
The Thunder waltzed into their match Tuesday with two straight wins but they left with three. Not to be outdone by Portland, Oklahoma City got past Portland on a last-second jump shot courtesy of Jalen Williams with 2 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
It was another big night for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who dropped a double-double on 33 points and ten assists. The contest was his third in a row with at least 30 points.
Meanwhile, the Spurs traveled a rocky road last season, and unfortunately for them the road hasn’t gotten any smoother. They took a 133-123 hit to the loss column at the hands of Philadelphia on Monday.
The loss doesn’t tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Victor Wembanyama, who scored 33 points along with seven rebounds. The team also got some help courtesy of Devin Vassell, who scored 22 points along with nine assists.
Oklahoma City pushed their record up to 30-13 with that victory, which was their seventh straight at home. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 124.4 points per game. As for San Antonio, their defeat dropped their record down to 8-35.
Wednesday’s matchup is shaping up to be a blowout: The Thunder just can’t miss this season, having made 50.4% of their shots per game (they’re ranked second in field goal percentage per game overall). It’s a different story for the Spurs, though, as they’ve only made 46% of their shots per game this season. Given the Thunder’s sizeable advantage in that area, the Spurs will need to find a way to close that gap.
Everything came up roses for the Thunder against the Spurs in their previous meeting back in November of 2023 as the squad secured a 123-87 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Thunder since the team won’t have the home-court advantage this time around. We’ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.

The UFC handed out four bonuses after Saturday’s card in Oklahoma City, including a pair to the main event fighters.
After UFC Fight Night 281, four fighters picked up an extra $100,000 for their performances at Paycom Center. Additionally, two fighters got $25,000 extra checks for finishes that weren’t bonus-winners.
Check out the list of winners below.
Dricus Du Plessis (24-3 MMA, 10-1 UFC) put on a masterful performance with a unanimous decision over former welterweight champion Kamaru Usman (21-5 MMA, 16-4 UFC), whose return to middleweight ended in failure – and him saying he didn’t want to be a sore loser, then listing about six reasons why he was being precisely that. Du Plessis frequently made Usman look slow, though the broadcast team starting in the third round lauded him for his grit. DDP’s scorecards included a 50-45, which Usman took particular exception with as part of his “I’m not a sore loser” sore loser time on the microphone with Daniel Cormier, who seemed unsure if he should feel sorry for him or be embarrassed for his assertion that he somehow was in a competitive fight.
Performance of the Night: Felipe Franco ($100,000)
Felipe Franco (11-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) turned in a performance to remember for his first win in the UFC when he took out Levi Rodrigues (5-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) with a second-round TKO. Back at 205 pounds after a loss in his UFC debut at heavyweight, Franco mounted Rodrigues and pounded him out in the second frame.
Performance of the Night: Tommy McMillen ($100,000)
Tommy McMillen (11-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) looked like a star has been born when he set a new promotional record for significant strikes in a three-round featherweight fight. And thought he took a few licks himself from Alberto Montes (11-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC), he put him away with about 90 seconds left in the fight after a torrid of standup punishment.
Finish bonus: R.J. Harris ($25,000)
R.J. Harris (6-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) had a stellar debut in the UFC at heavyweight when he drilled Alvin Hines (7-2 MMA, 0-2 UFC) with an uppercut in the first round that took him off his feet. Harris was on him in the bat of an eye and a few punches later had a stoppage in 100 seconds.
Finish bonus: Dione Barbosa ($25,000)
Dione Barbosa (10-4 MMA, 4-2 UFC) made things look easy against Alice Melisano (6-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC). Knowing her easiest path to victory was on the canvas, she took the UFC newcomer and “TUF” grad down right away, then worked her way to an eventual rear-naked choke finish in the opening round. Barbosa was the second biggest betting favorite on the card at 7-1.
The Oklahoma Sooners surprised the college football world with their breakthrough 2025 season. The Sooners made the College Football Playoff after a 6-7 season in 2024.
The Sooners navigated one of the toughest schedules in college football and still finished the regular season with a 10-2 record. With another offseason of development and the return of several key contributors, expectations are high around Norman heading into 2026. However, that optimism has not carried over to the national conversation.
ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI) projects the Sooners will finish with a 7-5 record this season. Despite that projection, FPI still ranks Oklahoma as the No. 12 team in the country. That disrespect likely comes from the up-and-down tenure under head coach Brent Venables. So far, he’s had two double-digit-win seasons, while also having two losing seasons. Oklahoma hadn’t had a losing season since 1998 until Venables took over before the 2022 season.
On3’s Ari Wasserman said that Oklahoma has been overlooked nationally on his show with Andy Staples.
Oklahoma has already shown it can compete at the highest level after making the College Football Playoff in its first season as an SEC member. Now, the challenge is proving that last season was not just a one-year breakthrough.
With a talented roster, an elite defense, and key players returning, the Sooners have the opportunity to exceed national expectations and establish themselves as a consistent contender in the SEC.

Du Plessis returns to the Octagon for the first time since losing his middleweight title to Khamzat Chimaev last August. Standing across from him is Usman, a former welterweight champion who defended his title five times, with signature wins over Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington. The pair headline a stacked card filled with rising contenders and can’t-miss prospects.
