“I don't want to get caught up in it and then realize where we were when we're not there anymore." The Thunder is on track for the best season of all time, but it isn’t overlooking the journey. On remembering the early days of losing and appreciating the gift that is the

Mitch Johnson says Victor Wembanyama may return for the NBA Cup game against the Thunder Saturday: “Very much so. He had a very good day today. He had a good intent day this morning and we’ll have to see how he responds and reacts tomorrow.”

OKC will face San Antonio in the NBA Cup semifinals at 8PM Saturday in Las Vegas. The Spurs just earned an impressive road win over the healthy Lakers despite not having Victor Wembanyama (calf), who was a full participant in practice Sunday. Seems like he's close to returning.

OKC is off to a historic start, and its sights are set on another title. But I asked Chet Holmgren if he’s able to appreciate what he’s a part of in the moment: “You don’t want to get so caught up in everything it takes to do it that you lose sight of how special of a team this

Asked Lu Dort if OKC’s historic start and recent tile mean more to him, having been a part of the early days of this build: “It means a lot. We’ve had some tough days here, and it just shows it’s a buildup. You’ve got to really trust the process.”

Asked Mark Daigneault about Chet Holmgren, who seemed to make the right decisions all night to finish with 24 points and three blocks: “I thought he showed the whole spectrum of things he’s capable of offensively tonight. He was great defensively as well, so I thought he played

The OKC Thunder advanced to the NBA Cup semifinals with a blowout win over the Phoenix Suns. Here are three quick takeaways. https://t.co/FnruN7QroF

OKC moves to 24-1 following its NBA Cup quarterfinals win over Phoenix. That ties the best start in NBA history through 25 games, per Thunder PR.

Final: Thunder 138, Suns 89 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: 28 points and 8 assists Chet Holmgren: 24 points and 8 rebounds Jalen Williams: 15 points and 5 assists OKC advances to the NBA Cup semifinals in Las Vegas, where it'll face either the LA Lakers or San Antonio on Saturday.

Branden Carlson took a shot to the face there and briefly took off his mask, which he has been wearing after sustaining a nasal fracture. Looks like he's fine, though. OKC is up 131-80 with 4:15 left in the game.

The Thunder's 47-point lead is the largest ever in an NBA Cup game.

End of the third quarter: Thunder 110, Suns 72 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: 28 points and 8 assists Chet Holmgren: 24 points and 8 rebounds Jalen Williams: 15 points and 5 assists OKC is absolutely dominating Phoenix with a trip to Las Vegas for the NBA Cup semifinals on the line.

Grayson Allen connected on a hard screen with Chet Holmgren, sending him to the floor, and Jalen Williams wasn't happy about it. Refs had to break up both teams. Williams then waved his arms to hype up the crowd, and it got even louder when a review led to Allen's ejection.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has scored at least 20 points in 96 consecutive games. That ranks second all-time, only trailing Wilt Chamberlain (126 games).
