It’s one thing to beat teams in nail-biting contests. It’s another to pummel them on a nightly basis.
The Oklahoma City Thunder beat opponents by an NBA record margin of 12.9 points in the regular season. They have remarkably upped their points differential to 14.1 points through 13 playoff games thus far.
Overall, OKC has maintained a 78-17 record in 2024-25 (playoffs included) while routing teams by historic margins.
With their 118-103 Game 2 rout of the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday, the Thunder registered their 60th win of the season by 10 or more points. They are just the second team in NBA history to accomplish this feat, following the 2016-17 Golden State Warriors, who went on to win it all.
