After enduring a hard-fought, seven-game NBA Championship series and, in turn, the shortest offseason in the entire league, the OKC Thunder are trudging right on through these early stages of the 2025-26 campaign as good as any team possibly could.
Through six games, Oklahoma City leads the association with a 6-0 record, ranks first in defensive rating (104.1), turnover percentage (11.6), and possessions (630), and is fifth in plus-minus (+9.3).
If this weren't enough to encourage the fanbase moving forward, oddly enough, perhaps the fact that they're playing this well while shooting at an abysmal rate from beyond the arc just might.
