The Thunder's scary potential is becoming an undeniable reality
Phoenix Suns v Oklahoma City Thunder | William Purnell/GettyImagesThe OKC Thunder continue to dominate the NBA, as evidenced by their league-leading 21-1 record, a comfortable 4.5-game lead in the Western Conference standings.
The narrative early in the year was that they were playing well despite Jalen Williams' injury-induced absence. Now, with Williams back in the fold, the Thunder are fully reaching their potential -- and that's a scary thought for the rest of the NBA.
Williams is one of the best players on the roster, and he, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Chet Holmgren make up one of the best big threes in the game today.
