San Antonio Spurs beat Oklahoma City Thunder with blessing from nuns in Game 4

San Antonio Spurs defeated Oklahoma City Thunder 103-82 in game 4 of the Conferência Oeste final, on Sunday, tying the series at 2-2. The victory had an unusual factor: a group of Catholic nuns watched the match from the Frost Bank Center stands and blessed the athletes before the match.

Pivot Luke Kornet recognized the influence of the blessing on the team’s performance. “A very good result. Não is just about that, but let’s accept that the blessing helped. Vamos take them to Oklahoma City Thunder. Precisamos put them on the plane,” said the player after the match.

Presença of the nuns mobilizes fans

The arrival of the sisters shook the gym even before the match began. The screen showed one of the nuns blessing Kornet, generating an immediate reaction from the fans. The group is part of the fan community of the Salesiana congregation of São João Bosco, based at San Antonio, and regularly attends Spurs events wearing the team’s shirt over their habit.

Não is the first time that nuns have appeared in the games. Elas has already participated in other Texas team matches as regular fans, reinforcing the connection between the local religious community and professional basketball.
