Oklahoma City defeated Atlanta 117-100 on October 25 at State Farm Arena, with Chet Holmgren and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander combining for 61 points to power the Thunder's road victory.

The Thunder dominated the third quarter, outscoring the Hawks 39-25 in that period to seize control after a closely contested first half. Atlanta's Nicolas Alexander-Walker (17 points) and Trae Young (15 points) could not generate enough offense, as the Hawks managed just 41.2 percent shooting and 16 three-pointers despite 25 assists. Oklahoma City's defense was suffocating, recording 13 steals and holding a 119-105 offensive rating advantage while forcing Atlanta into 16 turnovers compared to their own 12. The Thunder's third-quarter explosion proved decisive, establishing a cushion they maintained through the final frame. The victory underscores Oklahoma City's depth and defensive intensity as a legitimate Western Conference contender.
