Oklahoma City Thunder Remains Undefeated at 3-0

The Oklahoma City Thunder have surged to a 3-0 start for the first time since 2016, dominating opponents by at least 15 points in each game, including a decisive 128-104 win over the Atlanta Hawks. Their impressive performance is largely attributed to a tenacious defense that has forced a league-high 20.7 turnovers per game, showcasing their ability to disrupt opposing offenses. Star players Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren have been pivotal, with SGA leading the league in steals and Holmgren excelling defensively. Despite their offensive struggles, shooting only 44.4% from the field, the Thunder's defensive rating of 90.8 is the best in the league. Analysts have begun to label them as juggernauts, drawing comparisons to the Boston Celtics due to their collective energy and execution on defense. If the Thunder can maintain their defensive intensity throughout the season, they may solidify their status as a top contender in the NBA.
