Oklahoma City Thunder Aims to Break NBA Record
The Oklahoma City Thunder are having an amazing start to their basketball season.
They've won 24 out of their first 25 games, which is a record-tying start.
Their coach and players are doing really well, and they have a great defense.
They might even break the record for the most wins in a season.
The only thing that could stop them is a special tournament game that might not count towards their regular season record.
Everyone is watching to see if they can keep up this incredible performance.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are on a historic 24-1 start, tying the Golden State Warriors' 2015-16 record.
They have a net rating of +16.0, surpassing the Chicago Bulls' 1996 record of +13.4 and the Warriors' 2016 record of +10.7.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is leading the team with 32.8 points per game on 55.6% shooting.
The Thunder's defense is allowing just 105.4 points per 100 possessions, ranking significantly better than any other team.
A potential NBA Cup championship game could complicate their record-breaking attempt as it might not count towards the regular season.
