Oklahoma City is charging hard toward the 2025 NBA Finals. There’s a lot on the line for the young team, including the obvious – a real chance to win the franchise’s first title since it moved to the Midwest from Seattle.
The Thunder are currently the favorite in the NBA championship odds market with more wins than any other team this year. As you can imagine, Oklahoma City Thunder odds have been a popular offering at BetMGM.
Since the advent of the 82-game schedule in the late 1960s, only a handful of teams have won 65 games or more. Here are the historical juggernauts that Oklahoma City has flirted with for most wins in a regular season.

NBA Regular Season Record for Wins
The famous 2016 Golden State Warriors set a new record for regular-season wins after going 73-9 in the regular season.
The Warriors broke the record of the 1996 Bulls, who finished 72-10 after Michael Jordan ended his first retirement and returned to Chicago.
The Warriors ultimately lost the NBA Finals to LeBron James’ Cavaliers after one of the most infamous 3-1 series comebacks in the history of professional sports.
