Key Highlights
- Oklahoma City Thunder(37-10, last week No.
- 1)A couple of home losses this week means that chasing the 73-win NBA record for a regular season is officially off the table — and that can be a good thing, the team that went all out to set that record then blew a 3-1 lead in the Finals.
- What those home losses mean is the air of invincibility once around this squad is gone.
- They have weaknesses, including (and oddly) rebounding opponents' missed free throws.
- Assess just how good the Thunder are yourself this Sunday when they headline the opening night of Sunday Night Basketball on NBC and Peacock this weekend, when they travel to Denver — a more interesting game if Nikola Jokic plays, but that remains up in the air.
