Playing as part of the In-Season Tournament, the Thunder moved to 7-4 to start the season with a monster 123-87 rout of the Spurs.

The Thunder kept young gun Victor Wembanyama to just eight points, although he pulled down 14 rebounds in the crushing win.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way for OKC with 28 points, six rebounds and five assists, while Giddey was strong with 18 points, seven rebounds and seven assists.

Giddey’s start to the season hasn’t quite been what Aussie fans have been used to as he fits into a side now brimming with talent, rather than relying on him and Gilgeous-Alexander to lead the way.

With Chet Holmgren in his rookie season, while Jalen Williams has come of age, Giddey’s stats have dropped in his third season.

Following a disappointing World Cup for Australia, where Giddey was arguably the shining light, the 21-year-old has been down on his career stats, playing less time, over two points a game, 1.9 rebounds and 0.9 assists down on his career stats.

His well publicised struggles from beyond the arc are also rearing their ugly head, as he’s shooting at just 19 per cent this season, having not hit a triple in six matches.

But while he certainly has areas of improvement, the Aussie has reminded everyone of his talent with the ball in hand with an absolutely filthy move right at halftime.

Giddey sparked a 13-0 run in the final two and a half minutes of the first half, laying on three assists, and a layup of his own.

However, his final act of the half was something special.

After Gilgeous-Alexander broke up an alley-oop play for Wembanyama, Giddey went on the fast break, faking a behind-the-back pass before throwing a floater for Holmgren to slam down the final points of the half.

It gave the Thunder a 10-point lead at the main break. From there, OKC piled on the points, extending the lead to 25 at the end of the third and 36 by the end of the game, earning Giddey and Gilgeous-Alexander the final quarter off.

But although some argued Giddey could have scored himself rather than dishing off for Holmgren, most fans were blown away by the awesome pass.

Giddey’s passing prowess has been in the spotlight again this season, with the Aussie earning an unwanted nickname of “SLOB Wizard”.

While it may sound negative, SLOB refers to the acronym for “sideline out of bounds” passes, as Giddey has made a name for himself for his inbound passes.

It was a massive game for the Thunder, with the team combining for a franchise-high 19 steals, seven of which came from Gilgeous-Alexander.

“I think it was a great team effort, really keying in on the game plan and overall, just going out and executing,” Gilgeous-Alexander said.

Coach Mark Daigneault didn’t make too much of the lopsided scoreline, despite it being the Thunder’s biggest ever against the Spurs.

“I just think we have great respect for their people, their players, their program,” Daigneault said. “It’s one game. It’s one of 82. It was our night, it wasn’t their night. But it’s zero-zero next time we play them.”
