The NBA's sole remaining unbeaten team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, has emerged as a force to be reckoned with. After the Chicago Bulls and San Antonio Spurs suffered their first losses of the season, the Thunder remain undefeated at 7-0. The Bulls' defeat to the New York Knicks, despite a stellar performance by Josh Giddey, marked a rare setback for a team that has started seasons strongly in the past. Meanwhile, the Spurs' loss to the Suns, with Victor Wembanyama's uncharacteristically quiet night, highlighted their own history-making feat of starting 5-0. The Thunder, however, continued their dominant run, trashing the New Orleans Pelicans and showcasing their depth and resilience, even with key players out due to injury. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's leadership and the team's collective improvement have been pivotal in their success, as they now lead the NBA in defensive rating. With a strong foundation and a year of growth, the Thunder are poised to make a deep playoff run, leaving fans and analysts alike intrigued and eager to see how they fare in the upcoming games.
