The Thunder have won seven out of their last 10 games after starting 0-4 this season, and the duo of Westbrook & George has really germinated into something special.

They're both averaging 20+ points per game this season, with Westbrook back at it with his triple-double averages again this year. With Steven Adams by his side, averaging a double-double of 15 ppg & 10 rpg, this is by far the best collective Thunder unit we have seen in a long time.

Owing to the duo's 2+ steals per game, Oklahoma is leading the league in steals per game as a team, and also possess the best defensive rating of 102.3 amongst the rest of the 29 squads. This deadly combination of All-star offense and the league-leading defense has kept them afloat this season, after a sluggish start.

They are 9-3 at home and are currently just half-a-game behind the Conference leaders with a 16-8 (0.667 win percentage, best in the West) record.
