* The Oklahoma City Thunder remains as the NBA's only 1-loss team. The 75-win pace remains intact.
* The Thunder ran away with this one by 24, and actually, it wasn't even that close. OKC led by as many as 36, leading to this wonderful image of the Warriors' coaching staff:

* OKC pushes its league-leading net rating up to +14.4. But, when I checked the stats today, I noticed that the Denver Nuggets are up to +13.0... with no shade meant toward Wemby, the Thunder and Nuggets are probably the league's two best teams.
* Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is... consistent. SGA sat the entire fourth, but in 28 minutes, he did his usual damage, scoring 28 points. The MVP also dished out 11 assists, and he had some truly beautiful times.
* Chet Holmgren came out aggressive had a perfect game shooting. Chet scored 23 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, and went a perfect 9-of-9 from the field, including 2-of-2 from deep.
* One thing I love from Chet is when he gets position in the paint and uses a combination of a pump fake and his length to get an easy basket.
* More Chet: Whew, this was a nice dunk over Draymond Green, who was FRUSTRATED last night. Green also got a tech later.
* After the game, Draymond questioned whether his teammates were serious about winning, saying, "Right now, it doesn't feel that way." Which is interesting, considering last season Draymond criticized how OKC was having fun in post-game interviews, alleging that OKC wasn't a serious team.
* Off the bench, in the starting five, Ajay Mitchell is reliable. Mitchell led the team in minutes with 31, and yet again scored in double figures. Ajay has hit double digits in every game but 1 this year.
* The avalanche: OKC’s 44-28 third quarter. It was one of those quarters where almost everything went right for the Thunder, and few things went right for Golden State. The league's top defense also forced 7 turnovers, leading to OKC shooting 10 more shots in the third than GSW. And the ball was swinging in that third, with 12 (!) assists in that quarter alone.
* Really a nice game from Jaylin Williams, who has been struggling from three this season. He hit his first one out the gate, and ended up with 12 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists.
* On paper, the Warriors should be a pretty good team, but so far this season, they have been quite meh. I thought this game could be a nice test for the Thunder, who have had a light schedule to start the year, but nope. Clinical destruction.
Our man Ryan Woods has been tracking OKC's three-point percentage by game on the DT twitter account (though we're missing a few). The Thunder started kind of awful from deep, ranking dead last to open the season. The team, however, has continued to get better, now having the 22nd best percentage.
The Thunder has solid shooters, and the question was always: is the Thunder bad from three or is this just an issue of sample size?
But I'm not sure that matters. Yes, being a solid three-point shooting team matters, but OKC is not the kind of team that lives and dies by the deep ball. It can shoot 20% and win by double digits, and it can shoot 44% (like last night) and win. The Thunder hits teams in multiple different ways, with a versatile attack that if the shot isn't dropping, another attack will fill the gap.
And when every attack is hitting and the treys are dropping--like last night--omg watch out.
