Following their 124-113 Sunday win over the Washington Wizards, Fox is simply excited about what awaits them as they'll welcome the Oklahoma City Thunder on their home turf.

"It's going to be a dog fight," Fox told reporters, via Jeff Garcia of KENS5. "They're the best team in the league right now. And we obviously previously beat them.

"But regardless of who they play against, you know that they're going to come in, they're going to do what they do."

Both the Spurs and the Thunder will play back-to-back this upcoming week, which involves a Christmas Day showdown in Oklahoma City.

The forthcoming matchup is simply compelling following both teams' epic clash in the previous NBA Cup Semifinal round. The Spurs prevailed with a 111-109 victory to eliminate the Thunder and snap their franchise-record 16-game winning streak.

As such, Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren have engaged in another chapter of their growing basketball affair.

Fox and the Spurs can only expect a highly motivated Thunder arriving, as they still have two more regular-season games following this forthcoming holiday week.
