On December 29th in an NBA regular season game, the Thunder defeated the Hornets 106-94 on the road. Following this victory, the Thunder achieved a remarkable 10-game winning streak (the mid-season final loss to the Bucks does not count towards the regular season record), which is currently the longest active winning streak in the league.
When I last saw the Thunder achieve a 10-game winning streak back in 2014, I was watching players who were a few years older than me, like my older brothers. However, during this 10-game winning streak in 2024, I am now watching a group of players who are younger than me, like my younger brothers.
Come on, young people... go and write your own era, complete the unfinished business of your predecessors!
That year, the blue storm swept through the league, making people dream about their future. Although the ending of the story was not as expected, the beauty of the process lingers in our memories. Fortunately, the brothers have put aside their past grievances and are moving forward on their own paths to pursue their dreams.
So far this season, the Thunder has a record of 25 wins and 5 losses, ranking first in the Western Conference.
