In another NBA regular season game of the 2025/26 season, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 121-92 at home, thanks to goals from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Isaiah Joe, and Ajay Mitchell. Head coach DeGregor stated in an interview that his team must maintain a strong mentality and continue to improve to compete with other rivals.
According to the data, Gilgeous-Alexander scored 30 points and 9 assists for the Oklahoma City Thunder in this game, Isaiah Joe contributed 21 points and 5 assists, and Ajay Mitchell scored 14 points and 3 assists.
Oklahoma City Thunder head coach DeGnott said, "We are better now than we were in the first 13 games. The key is that we have a mature mentality and know that there are still 70 games to go."
“Other teams in the league will continue to evolve and improve, and we must do the same to keep up with the pace of the league. The players have been able to maintain this mentality well for a long time, but even with a successful start, we still need to stick to this mentality.”
In addition, the Oklahoma City Thunder will travel to Charlotte to face the Hornets in their next game.
DeGnott also stated, "Our roster depth has been very evident in the last few games, even narrowing the gap after falling behind early in the second quarter against the Memphis Grizzlies. Recently, when we brought in our second unit, they did very well at the start of the second quarter. Then, when we brought back some of the players we rotated in the first quarter, they were able to maintain their rhythm."
“We want to be competitive for as long as possible, and having a group of players who can perform when needed is a huge help to the team.”
