Oklahoma City has multiple impactful defenders on the roster, but a few of OKC's stars agreed that Jalen Williams is the group's most versatile.

The Thunder traveled back to OKC with some money in their pockets. They received $107K per player. For context, the NBA Cup winner sees each player get $531K. The runner-up will see $212K per player. And the quarterfinals losers get $54K per player.

There will be no NBA Cup this season for the reigning NBA champions, whose 16-game winning streak ended in a 111-109 loss to San Antonio in the tournament semifinals Saturday night. The Thunder are 24-2, with both losses by two points.

Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs snapped the Oklahoma City Thunder's record 16-game win streak with a 111-109 win in the NBA Cup semifinals.

As Chet Holmgren set a screen, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander found himself up against Victor Wembanyama. Going with his usually reliable stepback 3-pointer, his attempt clanked at the front of the rim. The seven-footer contested his jumper just enough to get the miss.

That is where perhaps OG & CO. need to show that they are absolutely ready to battle it out against the most elite teams in the West this season. Will the Knicks be able to finally attain a silverware, or will a team from the West once again bury their ambitions? Remains to be seen.

Here's how Aaron Wiggins went from a second-round selection to a system monster for the reigning champion OKC Thunder.
