Teams around the NBA are panicking about what could come next for OKC Thunder

The Oklahoma City Thunder have been on an absolute tear to begin the 2025-26 NBA season.

The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Portland Trail Blazers to improve to 20-1 on the season.

Riding a 12-game winning streak, the Thunder have become just the fourth team in NBA history to win at least 20 of their first 21 games.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander now owns the second-longest streak of 20-point games ever (93), trailing only Wilt Chamberlain’s 126-game run more than 60 years ago.

Jalen Williams recently returned to the lineup as the Thunder have the NBA’s top defense by a wide margin.
