Thunder set team record with 61st win as Giddey lifts Bulls over Lakers

On Thursday, the Oklahoma City Thunder, led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 37 points, defeated Memphis with a score of 125-104, securing their 61st victory of the season.
This victory broke the Thunder's single-season win mark, previously held by Kevin Durant's 2012-2013 team, and solidified their position as the Western Conference titleholder with a league-best record of 61-12.
In another game, Josh Giddey, a 22-year-old guard from Melbourne, Australia, hit a half-court buzzer-beater, giving the Chicago Bulls a stunning 119-117 home victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Giddey's game-winning shot capped off a triple-double performance of 25 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists, overshadowing Austin Reaves' 30 points for the Lakers and leading to a massive celebration on the court; Giddey said afterward, "That's a Bulls win."
Meanwhile, Luguentz Dort, a Canadian guard for the Thunder, is being recognized for his defensive prowess, with Gilgeous-Alexander advocating for him to win the 2025 Defensive Player of the Year award, although Gilgeous-Alexander's ultimate goal is to win the championship trophy.
