The Oklahoma City Thunder sent a message to the entire league on Wednesday night in a blowout win against the Phoenix Suns. In a season where they already look stronger than the year they won the 2025 championship, OKC delivered a historic beatdown that had NBA fans declaring the team damn near unstoppable.
Fans Stunned As Thunder Crush Suns by 49 Points in Historic Blowout
Playing at the Paycom Center on Dec. 10, the Thunder dismantled the Suns 138–89 in the NBA Cup Quarterfinals. The 49-point defeat, according to Underdog X, marked the worst loss in the Suns’ franchise history.
OKC’s dominance came from everywhere. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander once again played at an MVP level, scoring 28 points.
Chet Holmgren (24 points) imposed his presence on both ends, Jalen Williams (15 points) continued his evolution into a two-way star, and Luguentz Dort (12 points) anchored the perimeter with elite defense. Together, they overwhelmed Phoenix from the opening tip.
Fans quickly took to social media to react, many stunned by how effortless OKC made a playoff-caliber opponent look.
One fan summed it up bluntly: “They just create so much space and have so many people who can score. They’re damn near unstoppable.” That balance has defined the Thunder all season with waves of scorers, a system built on motion, and relentless pace.

Another fan looked at the bigger picture, comparing OKC’s start to the greatest regular-season team in league history: “Yeah Thunder probably gonna beat that Warriors record.” At 24–1, OKC has inserted itself into that conversation far earlier than anyone expected. Note that the Warriors have the best 73-9 season record to their name.
Some fans still can’t believe the Thunder’s lone loss this season. One wrote: “I can’t believe they blew a 20 point lead and lost to Portland for their only loss.” That Nov. 6 defeat remains the only blemish in a near-perfect campaign.

Confidence among OKC supporters is understandably soaring. “We running it back this year. It’s too easy,” one fan posted.

Another reacted to the blowout simply: “Thunder straight dog walked the Suns.”
The boldest take of the night came from a fan who claimed: “This Thunder team beats the 2016 Warriors in 5.”
Whether that’s realistic or not, it captures the level of belief surrounding a roster that looks deeper and more connected than the team that won last season’s title.
Thunder, With a 24-1 Standing, Are on a Record-Breaking Pace
The Thunder are now 24–1, sit atop the Western Conference, and have won 16 straight games.
After finishing 68–14 last season, they’ve managed to look even better. OKC goes nine or ten players deep without losing identity. Dort’s defense, Isaiah Joe’s shooting, and Isaiah Hartenstein’s rebounding provide perfect balance to their young core.
If they continue at this pace, the Thunder could threaten the Lakers’ 33-game win streak too. What once looked like a promising young team now resembles a rising dynasty, and as Wednesday proved, they’re showing no signs of slowing down.
