We all know San Antonio was a franchise best 67-15 this season while going 40-1 at home. On the road the Spurs went 27-14, but against Golden State, Cleveland, and OKC they were a collective 0-5 in these road games.
If you go through the Spurs’ entire season their best road win probably came at Miami or maybe the Clippers.
Until Tuesday night, the Thunder were winless in road games versus Golden State, Cleveland, and San Antonio going 0-5 as well. But the Thunder get Game 2 on the road and now the onus is on OKC to keep homecourt.
If you combine 2012, 2014, and this series with the two teams meeting, the Spurs are 1-5 on the road, while OKC is 2-6.
Road wins have been special when these two teams have met in post season. OKC won the iconic Game 5 in 2012 which propelled them to the Western Conference Championship in six games. In 2014, the Spurs clinched the Western Conference Championship in Oklahoma City in Game 6.
This week-end in on Mothers’ Days weekend should prove to provide some great moments. To date, OKC and the Spurs are overall 7-7 against each other in post season play.
