Thunder's Defense: Historic Start, Potential Record
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
The Oklahoma City Thunder, reigning NBA champions, are having an exceptional follow-up season with a twenty-three and one record, the second-best start ever for a defending champion. Their defense, led by coach Mark Daigneaults innovative approach, is shaping up to be one of the best in league history. The Thunder excel in forcing turnovers, limiting points in the paint, and preventing fast-break opportunities. Theyve also improved in areas like opponent free-throw attempt rate and defensive rebounding percentage, thanks to the return of healthy players and key additions. Their versatility and historic defensive start suggest they could become the first post-ABA merger team to be ten points per one hundred possessions better defensively than the league average.
