It has been a dominant start for the Oklahoma City Thunder to begin the season. After an offseason full of trades, big signings, and draft picks, the organization received plenty of props. The hype machine was running rampant for the Thunder — still the youngest team in the NBA — and rightfully so.

The 2024-25 Thunder are also the first team in franchise history since the 2011-12 OKC squad to start their season at 5-0. That roster — headlined by Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden — went to the NBA Finals and lost to the Miami Heat in five games.

Improving their record to 3-0, OKC Thunder continued their dominant run, defeating the visiting Atlanta Hawks. Leading MVP candidate Shai Gilgeous Alexander put on a clinic at the Paycom Center, one assist shy of his career's 3rd triple-double.
