"We play every night to get better, to become a better group ourselves," Gilgeous-Alexander said after the game, via ESPN. "And that's the reason why we've clinched this early. That's the reason why we've been the fastest team to 60 wins in franchise history. 

"No matter what we've done in the past, what we've accomplished, if we focus on using the opportunity in front of us to get better, we have to look up at the end of a season and be better, and that's all you can control."

The Thunder’s young stars have broken out this season to help lead Oklahoma City to the top of the league. Gilgeous-Alexander leads the league with a 32.8 scoring average. Jalen Williams is averaging 21.3 points per game. Holmgren, Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Hartenstein are each averaging at least 11 points per game.
