The Thunder (24-1) have won a franchise-record 16 in a row. They destroyed the Phoenix Suns in a 138-89 win to advance in the NBA Cup on Wednesday. They led by as many as 53 points. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 28 points and eight assists in three quarters.

Victor Wembanyama and the No. 3 San Antonio Spurs are headed to the NBA Cup finals after defeating Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the No. 1 Oklahoma City Thunder 111-109 on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The Spurs, Rockets, and Thunder don't seem to be interested in making a trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo if he becomes available.

The Spurs' upset of the Thunder in the NBA Cup has put Victor Wembanyama's squad back into the top of the NBA power rankings.

In NBA Cup semifinals Saturday, Stephon Castle and Co. held Oklahoma City to just 109 points, 14 below its season average.
