The Thunder (16-1) have won eight in a row in their historic start. After trailing by 18 points, they destroyed the Utah Jazz in a 144-112 win on Friday that also counted towards the 2025 NBA Cup. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 31 points and eight assists in three quarters.
Lillard is expected to sit out the whole season. Portland was also without guards Jrue Holiday, Scoot Henderson, Shaedon Sharpe, Matisse Thybulle and Blake Wesley. Portland still had Jerami Grant, however, and the veteran wing torched the Bucks for 35 points in 31 minutes.
