    A rare sight this season in basketball's NBA..


    San Antonio have racked up back-to-back wins over red-hot defending champs - on ESPN.

    The Spurs have beaten the Thunder 117 to 102 in Oklahoma City - following up a 20 point win on Christmas Eve.

    Having started the season with just two defeats through their first 27 games - last season's champions have now lost three of their last four.

    Earlier - the Knicks have come from 17 points down early in the final quarter to snatch a 126 to 124 win over Cleveland to open the league's slate of Christmas Day games.
