Not even the team with the best record in the NBA was stopping the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday.
The Thunder set a franchise record with 150 points during a commanding 150-117 victory over Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics. OKC's previous high mark was the 149 it scored in a 2019 game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
It was apparent from the early going that this wouldn't be a straightforward win for the 26-12 Celtics despite the differences in records.
The Thunder poured in 40 points in a dominant second quarter to take a 20-point halftime lead and never looked back as their offense shot 59.
