The Oklahoma City Thunder were able to shock the NBA world on Tuesday by defeating the Boston Celtics in a 150-117 blowout win.
What makes this historic offensive outing even more impressive is the fact that the Thunder did it with most of their frontcourt and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who was a late scratch due to a non-COVID illness.
The Thunder had five players score at least 20 points, which is just the second feat in franchise history. 150 points is also a franchise record for points scored in a single game.
Let’s take a look at the best tweets from the Thunder’s 33-point win over the Celtics.
