The reigning NBA champion Thunder are making a strong case to win the title again this season, even if it is only about a month into the 2025-26 season. Monday night’s game against the Pelicans certainly didn’t hurt Oklahoma City’s case.
In the first quarter alone, the Thunder combined to score 49 points—the most points scored in a single quarter in franchise history. On the other side of the court, New Orleans posted 24 points in that same quarter.
