Stephen A. Smith believes that the Oklahoma City Thunder are so dominant it could make this NBA season boring.

The Oklahoma City Thunder play the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Cup semifinals. The teams meet Saturday for the first time this season.

By Rory Carroll Dec 11 (Reuters) - The Oklahoma City Thunder crushed the Phoenix Suns 138-89 at home on Wednesday, extending their blistering start to the NBA season and strengthening their bid to break the league's single-season wins record.

Why the chances of watching the Bucks strike a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade with the Thunder is not likely.

The Oklahoma City Thunder (23-1) ride a 15-game winning streak into Wednesday night’s NBA Cup rematch with the Phoenix Suns (14-10) at Paycom Center, with the winner advancing to Saturday’s semifinals in Las Vegas.

Oklahoma City outscored the Suns by 10 or more points in every quarter and at one point extended its lead to 53. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren combined for 52 as the Thunder ultimately won by 49, 138-89. With the victory, Oklahoma City extended its streak to 16 games, but also tied a historic record.

Behind the Thunder are Nikola Jokic 's Denver Nuggets at +600. The Nuggets have started 17-6 but continue to be without Aaron Gordon (hamstring), who is not expected to return before Christmas. Houston has the next shortest odds at 10-1.

The Clippers falling off a cliff is a nightmare scenario for the rest of the NBA’s contenders with OKC in position to land another blue chip talent. The nightmare is only getting worse, because the 2026 Clippers pick is just the start of OKC’s future draft stash. Here’s every pick owned by the Thunder right now.
