With their win on Monday night against the Miami Heat, the Oklahoma City Thunder improved their record to 6-1 for the season and are currently at the top of the Western Conference standings. It also marks their best start in franchise history through seven games.

Even with the departure of Kevin Durant last summer, the Thunder still started this season on fire. Their record seems even more impressive as many believed they will only manage to be around .500 for the campaign. This Thunder team has topped their best start from in the 2013-2014 season when they posted a record of 5-2.

Much of the credit has been given to their superstar point guard, Russell Westbrook, for the success they've had so far in the young season. He has continued to produce incredible numbers night in night out and is averaging almost a triple-double with 33.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 9.7 assists per game.

Although in their latest win, he received a lot of help from his teammates as Enes Kanter had a season-high 24 points and 10 rebounds while Victor Oladipo and rookie Domantas Sabonis had 17 points and 14 points, respectively.

The Thunder will look to build on the momentum they have and move up to 7-1 when they host the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night.
