In the long arc of team-building and patience, Oklahoma City's Game 3 victory over San Antonio offered a vivid lesson: depth, not stardom alone, decides championships. On a Friday night in San Antonio, the Thunder overcame a 15-point early deficit to win 123-108, seizing a 2-1 series lead through the collective force of a bench that outscored its counterparts by 53 points. It was a reminder that the most durable forms of excellence are distributed, not concentrated.
