Since the start of February, the Oklahoma City Thunder has been on a tear. A 34-point victory over the Sacramento Kings, a 29-point win over the Milwaukee Bucks

Here's what the Oklahoma City Thunder said about Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 50 points against the Phoenix Suns.

As the NBA trade deadline nears, the Oklahoma City Thunder should focus on touching up the corners — if that. No need to fundamentally change the painting. The Thunder have been the league's best team this season.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are the very best team in the Western Conference and one of the favorites to win the NBA Finals, and they amassed a 40-9 record largely without their second-best player, Chet Holmgren.

OKC’s best move at the 2 p.m. Thursday NBA trade deadline is to stand pat. Double down on continuity as a counter punch to the wave of changes.

"Thunder star Chet Holmgren is off the team's injury report, clearing the way for him to return to action Friday against the Toronto Raptors in OKC. At 40-9, Thunder's remainder of regular season will feature reintegrating Holmgren into the young, rising title contender," Charania posted.

Oklahoma City Thunder center/forward Chet Holmgren announced his return to the court on social media Thursday.
