They had been a perfect 9-0 but lost to the Atlanta Hawks in Georgia on Monday night at State Farm Arena. 

Ironically, Antetokounmpo played in the game and had 25 points. 

After the loss, they picked up right where they left off, beating the Oklahoma City Thunder 136-132 in overtime on Wednesday night in Oklahoma.  

They have a legitimate shot at competing for the 2023 NBA Championship, which would be their second title in three seasons.

As for the Spurs, they are currently 5-7 in their first 12 games and in the middle of a five-game losing streak.
