Context
From the rows this page already reads
- The Thunder lost 130-110 at the Spurs, a 20-point loss.
- Previous appearance: Dec 19, 2025, 4 days earlier.
- Between the previous appearance and this game, the Thunder played on Dec 22, 2025; Caruso was not in that box score; the data does not say why.
- No earlier regular-season meetings with the Spurs this season.
- The source holds fewer Thunder games than this season has, so season highs, lows and ranks count only the games it holds.
