2026年10月20日周二，在圣安东尼奥进行的NBA常规赛中，俄克拉荷马城雷霆队后卫贾里德·麦凯恩（3号）在下半场命中三分后庆祝。雷霆队以116-104获胜。
在经历被膝伤和拇指伤病困扰的前两个赛季后，俄克拉荷马城后卫贾里德·麦凯恩 (Jared McCain) 更加珍惜自己的篮球生涯。
“我热爱打篮球，”他说，“这是我从小就喜欢的东西。受伤的时候，简直是我人生中最糟糕的时刻。所以，无论是（雷霆主帅）马克（戴格诺特）给我多少上场时间，只要能站在球场上，我就感到开心和感激。能和这些队友一起打球，真的很有趣。”
“我打球就是图个开心。氛围很好。”
周二晚上，麦凯恩为俄克拉荷马城创造了大量“好氛围”，他替补出场22分钟，三分球8投6中，砍下20分，帮助雷霆队以116-104在赛季揭幕战中击败马刺队。
马刺队上赛季对手三分命中率的防守排名联盟第八，将对手的三分命中率限制在35.2%。但在弗罗斯特银行中心进行的2026-27赛季揭幕战中，这一出色的防守表现并未延续。

在麦凯恩的带动下，俄克拉荷马城全场三分命中率高达45.2%（31投14中）。
2026年10月20日周二，在圣安东尼奥弗罗斯特银行中心进行的NBA赛季揭幕战下半场，圣安东尼奥马刺队后卫迪伦·哈珀（2号）指向俄克拉荷马城雷霆队后卫贾里德·麦凯恩（3号）。马刺队以104-116不敌雷霆队。
“就是没有把他们逼离三分线，没有贴上去干扰，尤其是开局阶段，”斯蒂芬·卡斯尔在被问及马刺外线防守出了什么问题时说道，“这就是他们早早拉开比分的原因。”
雷霆队上半场一度领先多达26分，半场以65-44领先。麦凯恩凭借三分球4投3中的表现，半场便拿下11分。
全队方面，俄克拉荷马城上半场三分球14投10中（命中率71.4%）。
马刺队全明星中锋维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 表示，多个因素导致了这场低于水准的防守表现。
“我认为有些回合我们打得非常非常好，但我们没能完成防守回合，”这位2026年最佳防守球员说道，“有时候我们在同一个位置连续送给对手两个进攻篮板，或者我们防守做得很出色，把球从他们手感火热的球员手中断下来，结果我们的补防却做得马马虎虎，或者补防质量很差，又或者沟通出现失误。”
“感觉他们打得非常合理。我相信他们今晚打得很开心。他们在不断做 extra pass（额外传球），而我们却没有付出额外的努力。”

Spurs struggle to defend 3-point line in opening loss to Thunder
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Jared McCain (3) reacts after making a 3-pointer during the second half of an NBA basketball game against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2026, in San Antonio. The Thunder won 116-104.
Oklahoma City guard Jared McCain’s basketball career is more precious to him after knee and thumb injuries plagued his first two seasons.
“I love playing basketball," he said. "This is something I’ve loved since I was younger. When I was injured, it was just the worst time ever. So being able to be out there playing any minutes (Thunder coach) Mark (Daigneault) gives me, I’m happy and I’m grateful for it. And being able to play with these guys, my teammates, it’s really fun out there.
"I just have fun when I play. It’s good vibes.”
McCain created plenty of “good vibes” for Oklahoma City on Tuesday night, when he connected on 6 of 8 from 3-point range on his way to scoring 20 points in 22 minutes off the bench in the Thunder’s 116-104 season-opening victory over the Spurs.
The Spurs finished last season ranked eighth in the league in opponents’ 3-point efficiency, holding foes to 35.2% from beyond the arc. But there wasn’t a carryover from that strong effort into the 2026-27 opener at the Frost Bank Center.

Sparked by McCain, Oklahoma City hit 45.2% from long range (14 of 31).
San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper (2) points towards Oklahoma City Thunder guard Jared McCain (3) during the second half of the NBA season opener at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2026. The Spurs fell to the Thunder 116-104.
“Just not running them off the line, not closing to touch, especially early,” Stephon Castle said when asked what went wrong for the Spurs out on the perimeter. “That’s how they got up on us kind of early.”
The Thunder led 65-44 at halftime after leading by as many as 26 points in the first half. McCain went into the break with 11 points on the strength of 3 of 4 from long range.
As a team, Oklahoma City hit 10 of 14 from 3-point territory in the first half (71.4%).
Spurs All-Star center Victor Wembanyama said several factors led to the sub-par defensive showing.
“I think there were some times where we were really, really good and we (didn’t) finish the possession,” the 2026 Defensive Player of the Year said. "Sometimes there (were) moments when we gave them two offensive boards on the same position, or we play great defense, get the ball off of their hot guys, and (then) we barely do a closeout or we do a bad closeout or we miscommunicate.
“It’s like they were playing the right way. I’m sure they were having fun tonight. They were making the extra pass and we weren’t making the extra effort.”
