The Oklahoma City Thunder achieved a remarkable feat, winning 22 of their first 27 games, matching a franchise record from 11 years ago. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is emerging as an MVP candidate, averaging 30.3 points per game with impressive efficiency and playmaking.

This season's Thunder is drawing comparisons to the 2013-14 team led by Kevin Durant, who also had a stellar start. Both teams have faced similar challenges, but the current squad boasts a superior point differential and turnover differential, indicating a strong potential for success.
