That same Suns team lost by 29 to the Blazers.

This one like sort of counts, but it doesn't really because it's the third game of the season.

And that was that Blazers team that went into the season, not tanking with Dame.

And then Dame ends up getting hurt and they tank the rest of the season.

So sort of, but not really.

To find one that's close, you have to go back to November 2016.

The KD Warriors lost a game to the Lakers by 20.

Listen to the starting lineup for the Lakers.

Julius Randle, Nick Young, D'Angelo Russell, Luol Deng, and Timothy Mozgov.

Never forget that that team beat a fully healthy KD Warriors.

Wow.

Finally, the only other game that qualifies in the past 20 years

20 years was a February 2007 Steve Nash Suns game in which Steve Nash didn't even play.

They lost by 24 to a Nick Collison-led Supersonics team.

My point is that what happened this week in OKC does not happen to great teams.

They do not get blown out by bad teams.

And by the way, we're talking about four other games, most of which aren't comparable because they happen super late in the season, super early in the season.

All of those other four games were road losses.

This Hornets win is legitimately one of the most shocking results in recent NBA history.

And for that, it's deserving of a hearty what?
