The Oklahoma City Thunder did it again, beating the Indiana Pacers 120-114.
It was an impressive victory made even more remarkable by the fact that, as pointed out by Legion Hoops, the Thunder have now won nine straight games.
They currently hold a 24-5 record and are the best team in the Western Conference.
Fans were elated to see this, and a bunch of people took to social media to support the Thunder, although some fans also questioned them.

Some people are already predicting the Thunder will play the Boston Celtics in the 2025 NBA Finals.
Obviously, it’s too soon to claim who will fight for a championship, but there is no doubt these teams would make for an amazing series.

However, some people aren’t convinced the Thunder have what it takes to go all the way.
They feel OKC will be strong in the regular season and then “fizzle” in the playoffs, not able to make it to the Finals.
Regular season best . Playoff will fizzle

Indeed, the Thunder will have to work hard to combat the assumption that they are too young and too unproven to be champions.
The only way they can do that is by continuing to win, which they have every intention of doing.
They are good in regular season but arent ready for playoffs yet

Though there may be a lot of belief — and some doubt — in the Thunder, one thing is agreed on by almost everyone: General manager Sam Presti has done incredible things for the team.
Sam Presti is a cheat code 😭

The Thunder will next take on the Charlotte Hornets, Memphis Grizzlies and Minnesota Timberwolves.
How long can they keep this streak going?
