Oklahoma City ties a historic record set by the 73-9 Warriors
The Thunder won by 49 on Wednesday night.
After a 49-point beatdown of the Phoenix Suns in the NBA Cup quarterfinals Wednesday, it's not hyperbolic to say the Oklahoma City Thunder are having the greatest regular season ever.
Kendrick Perkins thinks this Thunder team is different because of the sacrifices that they make for each other.
The Thunder are off to a 23-1 start and have already evolved into one of the best defensive teams of all time.
Kendrick Perkins credits the current Thunder squad for having selfless players who are willing to sacrifice individual glory for the success of their team.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are set to take on the San Antonio Spurs during the NBA Cup Semi-Final game in Vegas on Saturday. This leads to an interesting schedule quirk for OKC.
OKC is a virtual lock to win 70-plus games, if not break the league's single-season mark of 73 victories, set by the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors. In fact, people may not even remember the 72-win Chicago Bulls in '96 by the end of this Thunder season.
The Oklahoma City Thunder aren’t merely matching all-time great teams like Michael Jordan’s Bulls and Stephen Curry’s Warriors. They’re on pace to blow right past them.
