Following their 145-117 win against the Chicago Bulls on Monday, the Thunder secured an achievement that will place them in the history books.
They have set the record for the best single-season performance by a Western Conference team against Eastern Conference opponents in NBA history, according to Underdog NBA. With a 28-1 record against Eastern teams and just one interconference game remaining, they have surpassed the previous mark.
The record was previously held by the Golden State Warriors during their historic 73-9 season in 2015-16, as well as the Dallas Mavericks in 2006-07 and the Los Angeles Lakers in 1999-00—all of whom finished 27-3 against the East.
There is no doubt that the Thunder will finish the season with the best record in the West. Currently sitting at 63-12, they appear to be the favorites to win the championship.
