Following a historic 24-1 start to the 2025-26 campaign, the OKC Thunder have gone a middling 6-6 over their last 12 games. Their latest outing saw them get pummeled by the cellar-dwelling Charlotte Hornets by a final score of 124-97 and endure just their second losing streak of the season.
Once believed to be a shoo-in to eclipse the Golden State Warriors' 73-win mark for the best record ever registered in a single regular season, now at 30-7 on the year, Oklahoma City's margin for error is just two more losses to set the record and three to tie it.
