Kendrick Perkins Shares Reservations About Thunder Over Celtics

The Oklahoma City Thunder are having a season to remember, sitting atop the Western Conference with a stellar 54-12 record. 

With MVP frontrunner Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leading the charge and Chet Holmgren making a strong case for Rookie of the Year, the Thunder have emerged as one of the league's most dominant teams.

Their elite defense and balanced offense have made them a nightmare for opponents, and they’ve already clinched a playoff berth with weeks to spare.

In their most recent game, the Thunder secured a statement 118-112 victory over the defending champion Boston Celtics at TD Garden. 

Gilgeous-Alexander was unstoppable, dropping 34 points while adding 7 assists and 5 rebounds. Holmgren contributed a double-double with 23 points and 15 rebounds, while Isaiah Hartenstein and Cason Wallace provided key support. 

The Thunder’s physicality and relentless attack overwhelmed the Celtics, who struggled without their All-Star big man Kristaps Porzingis. 

OKC outscored Boston in the paint and dominated at the free-throw line, showcasing their ability to win in multiple ways.
