Starting with 16 wins and 1 loss, can the Thunder break the Warriors record for the best regular season record?

The 25-26 season NBA Cup group stage continues. The Thunder faced the Jazz. Although the Thunder was lagging behind at the beginning of the game, with their outstanding performance in the second and third quarters, the Thunder finally defeated the Jazz 144-112. The Thunder's current regular season record has reached 16 wins and 1 loss. Do you think the Thunder can break the Warriors' best regular season record?

In the 15-16 season, the Warriors scored 73 wins and 9 losses in the regular season. However, they lost to the Cavaliers in the finals and did not win the championship. The Thunder's lineup was actually not neat at the beginning of the season. Even though Jaylen Williams did not play, the Thunder remained the same. It is really surprising to be able to achieve such outstanding results. The Thunder should value the opportunity to defend their title more than the results of the regular season. The Thunder, who have won enough games in the regular season, should have the opportunity to make some rest moves in the second half of the regular season. This is definitely a good thing for the Thunder.

The current Thunder team in the Western Conference seems to be unique. The Nuggets, Rockets and Lakers may be potential opponents for the Thunder to break out of the Western Conference. Compared with other teams, the Thunder's backcourt defense should be unique, but their three-point shooting is still a big problem. No team in the NBA has been able to defend the title for a long time. Will the Thunder break this curse?
