It has been a great regular season for the Thunder. They are 49-11 and have the second-best record in the NBA. They are only a game behind the Cleveland Cavaliers for the league’s best record. OKC’s offense has been tremendous. They are fourth in points per game, eighth in field goal percentage, and 12th in three-point percentage.
OKC’s defense has also been great. They are second in points allowed, leading the league in opposing field goal percentage, and leading the league in opposing three-point percentage. The Thunder are also the best team in the league at turning over the opposition.
Final Thoughts
Oklahoma City returns to the court this evening for the second half of a back-to-back at home against the Houston Rockets. Gilgeous-Alexander and Williams will look to continue making history as the Thunder eye a deep playoff run in a loaded Western Conference.
