The hallmark of the Thunder defense so far isn’t anything Oklahoma City does; it’s the way its offenses look. Fighting through a 24-second possession in OKC is exhausting. Releasing a hasty jumper at the end of a chaotic possession is not the same as putting up a smooth one that didn’t take much resistance to create.

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 Oklahoma City Thunder unveiled their 2024 NBA Cup alternative court ahead of their 2024-25 season opener. The design differs from last year's court. The court will be dark blue, and the Thunder logo shield will blend in the background. The NBA Cup itself is at the center court behind the Thunder logo.

The Oklahoma City Thunder 's devouring 102-87 win over the Denver Nuggets to open their season showcased what many people thought — the youngest first-seed in league history is here to stay as a title contender.

With multiple first round picks in the upcoming draft, Oklahoma City has the chance to add to its depth in the summer of 2025.
