> Thunder beat the Spurs 116-104 on opening night and Wemby went 1-for-13 — was that just one bad shooting night, or did OKC expose something real?

> Opening night rematch of last season's Western Conference finals. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander dropped 32, mostly from midrange, Jared McCain hit six threes for 20 off the bench, and OKC won the bench battle 48-29. Meanwhile Victor Wembanyama finished with 12 points on 1-of-13 shooting, though he did grab 13 boards and block 6 shots. San Antonio won transition 31-12, so it was not a blowout in every phase. Is one cold night from Wemby enough to worry, or does the Thunder's depth just make them the team to beat again?

> Wemby off night, Thunder depth is the story

> One game is noise for a shooter like Wembanyama: 13 rebounds and 6 blocks in the same game says the defense and effort were there, the shots just did not fall. The real signal is OKC's bench outscoring San Antonio's 48-29 and shooting 45 percent from three as a team. Depth wins 82-game seasons more than any single star's shooting night.
