They join the 1971-72 Phoenix Suns, who, coincidentally, also defeated the same team twice (Warriors) during their streak. Phoenix won those games by an average of 35 points.

In the Thunder’s 3-game stretch, they saw a 43-point victory against the Lakers, a 35-point victory against the Jazz, and a 36-point victory tonight against the Lakers, for an average margin of 38 points.

Could you tell the difference between tonight and last week?

We will not be including half-a-Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves with a strained oblique as a true challenge!

I will concede and grant you 26 minutes of LeBron and 18 from Bronny and call them the Los Angeles Bay Lakers.

Right… okc wasn’t gonna dog walk the lakers like they did the first time early season cause they were gearing up (despite their win streak)

2nd time doesn’t count cause Luka was out (so was Shai)

3rd time doesn’t count cause Luka and AR got hurt (after being obliterated in the first quarter alone)

They actually played better today than with Luka and Ar. Obviously okc wasn’t really trying tho

Does it count if the second team they played is intentionally trying to lose?

I mean, Utah just had a 6 point loss in Denver two weeks ago.

To be fair the nuggets are incredibly consistent at making every game close, be it against the thunders/spurs, or tanking teams. Its actually impressive.

The Jazz are obviously tanking, even if the players put out on the floor aren’t missing on purpose.

Ignoring the first game against the Lakers where the top two players got injured, the next two were against teams basically not trying to win. I suppose it’s impressive but combine the commitment to tanking with the relatively recent rule changes that favor higher scoring games and maybe it’s not that impressive. Just more surprising that the longest streak is 3. But I guess most teams would have put on the breaks up 20 in a game and not even bothered to win by 30.

So much for Adam “Parity” Siler smh…

With their win over the Lakers, the Thunder become the second team in league history to win 3-straight games by 30+ points.
