Oklahoma City's recent wins against the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks have catapulted the Thunder to championship contenders in the eyes of national media.

Through 35 games in the 2024-25 regular season, the Oklahoma City Thunder sit at an aesthetically pleasing 30-5. A franchise-record 15-game win streak has catapulted them to the top seed and a seven-game cushion.

The Thunder took down the reigning champion Boston Celtics behind a near-perfect second half and stifling defense down the stretch. With a 30-5 overall record, there’s hardly any holes to poke in Oklahoma City across the board.
