The San Antonio Spurs’ loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder had Jason Whitlock wondering if something was going on with the crowd noise. The San Antonio Spurs opened up their 2026-27 NBA campaign with a loss against the Oklahoma City…
Sports analyst Jason Whitlock questioned on social media whether the San Antonio Spurs pumped in fake crowd noise during their season-opening loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Whitlock pointed out visible empty seats at the Frost Bank Center during the third quarter, insinuating that the loud atmosphere inside the arena was manufactured.
Yardbarker refuted Whitlock's claims by highlighting official ESPN attendance figures, which showed an over-capacity sellout of 19,160 fans. The report noted Whitlock's post coincided with the start of the third quarter when spectators were likely still returning from the concourse, while the Spurs mounted a loud 23-9 run.
