Oklahoma City Thunder and an inexorable tendency to break two historical records

A legendary team, a budding dynasty that seems to have no rival, not even themselves. Oklahoma City Thunder is a well-oiled machine that devours opponents in the NBA and is within reach of breaking two of the most impressive historical records in the competition. Will they win more than 73 games and surpass the best Net Rating ever seen?

Simply invincible. Oklahoma City Thunder is on track to sign one of the most spectacular seasons ever witnessed in NBA history. Having achieved a record of 18-1, they have become the fifth team of all time to do so, with a Net Rating of 16.2, well above the 13.4 the 1996 Bulls averaged, which stands as the current record.

Four teams have started a season 18-1 or better:

▪️ 2015-16 Warriors: 19-0
▪️ 1993-94 Rockets: 18-1
▪️ 1990-91 Trail Blazers: 18-1
▪️ 1969-70 Knicks: 18-1

It is inevitable to think about whether these Oklahoma City Thunder will surpass that record and also if they will win more than the 73 games the Warriors had in 2016. Although they have several back-to-back games in the coming months that could be dangerous, the sense of dominance they convey is so overwhelming that more and more analysts are convinced that we are witnessing the highlights of the greatest team in history.

The Thunder are now 18-1, and Jalen Williams still hasn’t made his season debut yet.

Oklahoma City is currently on pace to break the NBA’s all-time record for most wins in a season, plus best net rating ever.
