The Oklahoma City Thunder equalled the best 25-game start to a season in NBA history as they overpowered the Phoenix Suns 138-89 in the NBA Cup quarter-finals.
Defending champions the Thunder have won 24 of their first 25 games, equalling the Golden State Warriors’ record from 2015-16.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, last season’s Most Valuable Player, scored 28 points at Paycom Center, hitting the 20-point mark for a 96th straight game.
It was a franchise record 16th straight win for the Thunder, who face the San Antonio Spurs in the semi-finals in Las Vegas on Saturday.
The Thunder have won 92 of their 107 regular-season games since the start of 2024-25, having topped last season’s Western Conference with a 68-14 record.
The record for most wins in an NBA season is 73, achieved by the Warriors in 2015-16.
The Spurs reached the semi-finals by beating the Los Angeles Lakers 132-119 at Crypto.com Arena.
The NBA Cup is the competition’s annual in-season tournament, with all matches except the final counting towards the regular-season standings.

Bolivian law enforcement officials have arrested former President Luis Arce as part of a corruption investigation, in a polarising move just a month after the inauguration of conservative President Rodrigo Paz ended 20 years of socialist rule.
A senior official in Paz’s government, Marco Antonio Oviedo, said on Wednesday that Arce had been arrested on charges of breach of duty and financial misconduct related to the alleged embezzlement of public funds during his stint as economy minister in the government of charismatic former leader Evo Morales (2006-2019).

A special police force dedicated to fighting corruption confirmed to The Associated Press news agency that Arce was in custody at the unit’s headquarters in Bolivia’s capital of La Paz.
“It is the decision of this government to fight corruption, and we will arrest all those responsible for this massive embezzlement,” Oviedo said.
While officials described Arce’s arrest as proof of the new government’s commitment to fighting corruption at the highest levels in fulfilment of its flagship campaign promise, Arce’s allies say his arrest is unjustified and smacks of political persecution.
Authorities accused Arce and other officials of diverting an estimated $700m from a state-run fund dedicated to supporting the Indigenous people and peasant farmers who formed the backbone of Morales’ Movement Toward Socialism party.
As Bolivia’s first Indigenous president, Morales transformed the country’s power structure and gave Indigenous people more sway than ever.
Serving on the board of directors of the Indigenous Peasant Development Fund from 2006 to 2017, Arce was in charge of allocating funds to social development projects in rural areas.
During that time, officials allege Arce siphoned off some of that money for personal expenses.
“Arce was identified as the main person responsible for this vast economic damage,” said Oviedo.
Bolivia’s attorney general, Roger Mariaca, told local media that Arce had invoked his right to remain silent during police questioning, adding that he would remain in police custody overnight before being brought before a judge to determine whether he will remain in prison pending trial.
