The Thunder's performance has been nothing short of impressive. In their last game on January 1st against the Brooklyn Nets, they dominated with a score of 124-108. Their offensive prowess was on full display as they shot an astounding 54 percent from both the field and beyond the arc. The team also showcased their defensive capabilities by limiting their opponents' fast break points to just nine and maintaining a positive plus/minus of 16.


Moreover, in their previous away game against Denver Nuggets on December 30th, OKC continued their winning streak with a convincing victory of 119-93. They exhibited remarkable efficiency from the free-throw line at 94 percent and capitalized on fast breaks where they scored an impressive 25 points.


Against New York Knicks on December 28th, OKC once again proved why they are one of the teams to watch this season by securing a win with a scoreline that read an eye-catching 129-120. Their ability to control the paint was evident as they scored a whopping 62 points inside and maintained tenacious defense throughout.


The upcoming clash with Boston presents another opportunity for OKC to assert themselves as one of the premier teams in the league. While acknowledging Boston's strength and resilience – especially considering their bonus situation which could provide them strategic advantages during crunch time – it is clear that Oklahoma City Thunder has momentum firmly on its side.


With players demonstrating high levels of efficiency across recent games coupled with home-court advantage, there is every reason for optimism among fans that OKC can continue its ascendancy through sheer force and skillful playmaking.
