OKC Thunder maintain winning ways despite multiple injuries
Summary

The Oklahoma City Thunder continue to perform well, holding an 8-2 record early in the season despite significant injuries to key players. Following the loss of three starters in a game against the Clippers, many expected the Thunder to struggle. However, they recorded back-to-back wins against the Cavaliers, Grizzlies, and Wizards. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been outstanding, averaging 33.8 points per game over the last five games. The continued success with a largely untested roster has drawn concern from other teams around the league.
