Thunder Tying Franchise Record After Dominating Jazz

Oklahoma City Thunder continued their dominant start to the 2025-26 NBA season, matching a franchise record with their 15th consecutive victory. The team, fresh off an NBA championship win last season, showcased their strength against the Utah Jazz on Sunday night, securing a decisive victory.

Despite the absence of star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander due to injury, the Thunder overwhelmed the Jazz from the opening quarter. They established a commanding lead early, outscoring their opponents 45-20 in the first quarter, and maintained their advantage throughout the game. The final score was a resounding 131-101 in favor of Oklahoma City.

Key to the Thunder's success were their superior performance in perimeter shooting, rebounding, and ball movement. They connected on 21 three-pointers, secured 44 rebounds, and recorded 32 assists, while the Jazz fell short in all three categories.

Several Thunder players contributed significantly to the win, with six players scoring in double digits. Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams each led the way with 25 points. Aaron Wiggins added 19 points, while Ousmane Dieng, Branden Carlson, and Kenrich Williams also made notable contributions.

With this victory, the Thunder improved their season record to 23-1, solidifying their position as the top team in both the Western Conference and the entire NBA. They currently hold a significant lead over the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets in the standings.

The Thunder will look to extend their winning streak in their next game, hosting the Phoenix Suns in the NBA Cup quarterfinals on December 10th.

BNN's Perspective: The Thunder's performance is undeniably impressive, and their ability to maintain such a high level of play, even without a key player, speaks volumes about their depth and coaching. While it's early in the season, their dominance is a clear indication of their championship aspirations.
