Thunder, Spurs meet in prime-time battle with playoff implications
The Thunder and Spurs are two of the many teams battling for playoff positioning in the Western Conference with every game they play. Entering Saturday night's contest, the two are tied for fifth place though the Spurs have the edge at the moment due to percentage points. There's still a month left in the regular season, but here are the stakes for this matchup: The loser will be just one game up on the 10th-place Jazz, while the winner will be only half a game behind the Pelicans for fourth.
