Social media was astonished by the Oklahoma City Thunder‘s 23-point comeback over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday.
To conclude a four-game home stand, the OKC Thunder hosted the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night. This game began at 6 p.m. local time, one hour earlier than usual since Bricktown was experiencing a drowsy, wet Sunday both on and off the court.
The Oklahoma City Thunder, who were clearly the better team on paper, fell behind by double digits in this game and ultimately trailed by 23 points.
Oklahoma City just kept fighting even though their defense was occasionally weak and their shoots did not fall. The Thunder were down to only two possessions during a 19-2 rally that was ignited by Aaron Wiggins and Josh Giddey, giving them a chance to win.
Ultimately, the Oklahoma City Thunder took control of the game and won 135-127 in double overtime, capping nine lead changes and thirteen ties.
The Thunder are now 35-15 at the 50-game stage, their best start to a season since the 2015–16 campaign. Shai Gilgeous–Alexander recorded a career-high 14 assists, and five players scored 20 points or more today for just the fifth time in Thunder history.
Fans went wild in social media seeing the comeback
Oklahoma City was the talk of social media following this exciting victory. The Thunder’s tenacity was evident throughout a game that appeared lost numerous times.

Reminder: SGA is a deserving MVP candidate – and it’s for more than just his offense.
