2. Spurs vs Thunder – March 31

Even with Kevin Durant gone from Oklahoma City, the rivalry between them and the Spurs is always going to exist. After ousting the Spurs from the playoffs in upset fashion last year, San Antonio is out for revenge this year. With the way the offseason went down, Russell Westbrook is out for revenge on the entire league.

When these two hit the floor together, it’s going to be classic basketball from start to finish. On March 31, the two teams will meet in Oklahoma City and the place will be electric for basketball. The Thunder are out to prove that they will be just fine without Durant and there isn’t anyone in the league with the determination of Westbrook.

With this game taking place on the final day of March, both teams will be gearing up for the playoffs and will be playing at their best. It should be an early preview of what could potentially be another playoff battle between the two teams this season.

Even if Oklahoma City doesn’t maintain their same success, the game is bound to be a great one regardless. It’s Spurs and Thunder. What more needs to be said?

Next: 1. Warriors vs Cavaliers
