Devin Booker highlights the steep challenge ahead as the Phoenix Suns prepare for their high-stakes NBA Cup clash vs. Oklahoma City Thunder.

A month into the NBA season, the Oklahoma City Thunder are favorites to repeat as champions, with Denver and Cleveland next in line.

Oklahoma City improves to 18-1 and stays perfect in West Group A behind a resilient performance from its MVP guard.

Simply having Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the floor alongside a group of any Thunder role players is enough to win 90% of their games. Mark Daigenault is a phenomenal coach who has instilled great defensive principles and a culture of work ethic and energy for all 82 games, which allows OKC to win on the margins even when short-handed.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 113-105 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night.

Oklahoma City has the potential to add three more players to its roster in the upcoming NBA Draft, bolstering a roster that already has plenty of depth.

Durant Warriors with elite defense, extraordinary depth and a blistering 17–1 start, OKC is separating from the league and putting a historic regular-season mark firmly in play.
