Context

From the rows this page already reads

  • The Thunder lost 111-103 at home against the Spurs.
  • Previous appearance: May 28, 2026, 2 days earlier.
  • Earlier in this series: 8 points (Game 1), 12 points (Game 2), 11 points (Game 3), 5 points (Game 4), 7 points (Game 5), 11 points (Game 6).
  • The source holds fewer Thunder regular-season games than the 2025-26 regular season had, so the usual line counts only the games it holds.

Box scores record what happened, not why: no injuries or health, defensive assignments, matchups, coaching decisions or play-by-play.

METHOD

Game Score against the player's own regular-season usual line, never blended with last season. How rare a gap is comes from NBA playoff games of 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-26, each postseason checked on a table fit on the others; the top tier is Rare.
