At the rate at which the OKC Thunder force opposing teams into turnovers, one would think they'd constantly be running up and down the court in an attempt to capitalize on the break.
Interestingly enough, however, this is quite the opposite approach they've taken in 2025-26.
Through 25 games played, Oklahoma City ranks ninth in blocks (5.4), second in steals (10.2), and first in forced turnovers (17.9). In this modern era of play that's generally devoted to high-end pace of play, the natural belief is that this is a prime recipe for fast transition sets.
Instead, the slow-it-down Thunder, who rank a middling 15 in pace, have shied away from this kind of approach, and the proof is in the fact that they place a lowly 20 in fastbreak points per game at 14.
