The youthful Oklahoma City Thunder continue to impress the NBA world with their remarkable performance.
As reported by Legion Hoops, they are on the brink of establishing an NBA record for the highest free-throw percentage, currently standing at an impressive 85.2% as a team.
It wasn’t too long ago that they appeared to be just one piece away from becoming a genuine contender in the highly competitive Western Conference. That missing piece, as it turns out, was already within their ranks.
The addition of Chet Holmgren has elevated their defensive prowess to unprecedented levels, and his scoring ability has opened up ample space for their offense to thrive. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, a bona fide two-way superstar, has been lighting it up from all areas of the court, whether it’s sinking shots from deep, making crucial stops on defense, creating opportunities for his teammates, or delivering in clutch moments.

Jalen Williams has shown remarkable progress ahead of schedule, complemented by the playmaking skills of Josh Giddey and Luguentz Dort’s three-point shooting and defensive expertise. Under the guidance of coach Mark Daigneault, this Thunder team possesses the potential to become a formidable force in the upcoming playoffs.
It’s important to acknowledge that they are still a young squad and may make mistakes along the way. However, they have already demonstrated their mettle by going head-to-head with some of the league’s best teams without fear or hesitation.
