The Thunder traveled back to OKC with some money in their pockets. They received $107K per player. For context, the NBA Cup winner sees each player get $531K. The runner-up will see $212K per player. And the quarterfinals losers get $54K per player.

Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander believes there is "a good chance" the Thunder and Spurs will be an incredible rivalry in the NBA.

The Spurs' upset of the Thunder in the NBA Cup has put Victor Wembanyama's squad back into the top of the NBA power rankings.

As Gilgeous-Alexander alluded to, NBA teams can quickly ascend from rebuilds to contenders. Look at the Thunder. Wasn't that long ago when they were one of the worst teams. But because of the reigning MVP's historic rise, they've been at the top of the league for two years.

With a current BetMGM win total over/under at 69.5 wins (-140 over/+115 under), Oklahoma City is currently favored to become the third 70-win team in NBA history. The -140 odds for “over 69.5” imply a more than 58 percent chance of getting there.

Oklahoma City outscored the Suns by 10 or more points in every quarter and at one point extended its lead to 53. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren combined for 52 as the Thunder ultimately won by 49, 138-89. With the victory, Oklahoma City extended its streak to 16 games, but also tied a historic record.
