The Thunder takes its eight-game winning streak into Washington’s Verizon Center to play the Wizards on Tuesday night. If the Thunder wins, it would match the second-longest winning streak in OKC’s NBA history.
The longest winning streak in Thunder history is the 12 straight won in 2012-13. From Nov. 24 through Dec. 19, OKC won 12 in a row with the best team in Thunder history. That team went 60-22 in the regular season and had the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. The torn meniscus suffered by Russell Westbrook in the playoffs derailed OKC’s title hopes.
