Probably the easiest for people to edit their initial post.

For everyone, it's worth noting that OKC is an underdog for the first time in 33 games. Spurs were favored by 1.5:

Both Harper (SA) and Williams (OKC) are dealing with hammy issues. Not sure if Fox will go yet.

We have mostly high-scoring (but realistic) guesses.

Watch, it'll be some like 85-81 or 153-146 in 3OT

Both teams have players the other team can't stop. Thunder can't stop Wemby...
The Spurs can't stop the refs from sending OKC to the freethrow line... ;-)

Well, @Kagavi got me to turn on an NBA game for just about the first time this season.

The result of Game 3:

THUNDER - 123​

SPURS - 108​

Now for the most anticipated announcement of 2026.

I chose the winner by following these three steps:

1.) Correct winning team: THUNDER VICTORY​

2.) Total points ranked: (123 + 108) = 231 TOTAL PTS​

3.) Margin of victory ranked: (123 - 108) = 15 PTS MARGIN​

Out of 19 correct guesses, I added your total points ranking and your margin of victory ranking to arrive at a final number. Lowest overall number = winner.

Congrats to @bsaltyman who easily won with their guess of OKC 117 - SA 105, which finished 3rd in both categories for an overall score of 6 points.

On the other end, @vacyclone secured the #1 overall draft pick for next season by nosing out @NENick.

The final overall ranking and stats below:

Impressive timely reply with the results.

As soon as I get an address for @bsaltyman, I will send the Fanatics book.

 

[NENick]

So close! Lol

Hey, I figured if there was an abnormally low scoring game, I'd have a better chance. It probably would've been between you and me!
