Anisimova was born in Freehold Township — next to Bruce Springsteen's hometown of Freehold Borough — to Russian parents, Olga and Konstantin, and moved to Aventura, Florida at age 3, so her older sister Maria could pursue tennis. Maria gave up competitive tennis but her little sister has become one of America's top players.

Thunder Make History With +1,243 Point Differential, Highest Ever In a Single Season
Thunder Make History With +1,243 Point Differential, Highest Ever In a Single Season originally appeared on Fadeaway World. The Oklahoma City Thunder didn't just win the 2025 NBA championship; they carved their name into the history books with one of the most dominant statistical seasons in NBA history. Over the course of 105 games, spanning the regular season and playoffs, the Thunder outscored their opponents by a staggering 1,243 points, the highest cumulative point differential ever recorded in a single season. Advertisement No team, not the dynastic Warriors, not the juggernaut Bulls, has ever steamrolled opponents quite like this. Their average point differential per game for the entire season was 11.8, placing them fourth all-time behind only the 1971–72 Lakers, 1995–96 Bulls, and 2016–17 Warriors. But if you look strictly at regular-season play, the Thunder sit at the very top, 12.87 points per game, the highest ever recorded in NBA history. That figure alone speaks volumes about how relentless, efficient, and deep this young Thunder squad was throughout the season. OKC's total of 84 wins also places them in elite company. Only the 2016-17 Golden State Warriors (88-18), the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls (87-13), and the 1996-97 Bulls (84-17) have hit that threshold. The Thunder now joins those legends, not just as champions, but as one of the winningest teams in NBA history. Advertisement Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Indiana Pacers was the final stamp. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the 2025 league and Finals MVP, put up 29 points and 12 assists as the Thunder defeated Indiana 103-91. His counterpart, Tyrese Haliburton, suffered a devastating Achilles injury just seven minutes into the game, a moment that dramatically shifted the night's tone. But the Thunder remained unfazed. Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams combined for 38 points, once again proving why they are the most dynamic young trio in basketball. The Thunder outscored Indiana 34-20 in the third quarter, turning a tight game into a runaway, and ultimately sealing their first championship in the Oklahoma City era. It was a full-circle moment for a franchise that began its rebuild by trading away superstars, only to find new ones through patience and draft precision. Advertisement OKC also became just the second-youngest team in NBA history to win a title, with an average age of 25.6 years. The Thunder's dominant season, historic point differential, and balanced roster suggest that this may not be a one-time celebration. With a core of Shai, Chet, Jalen, and a war chest of future picks, this could be just the start of a dynasty. From rebuilding to breaking records—the Thunder didn't just win the title. They redefined what dominance looks like in the modern NBA.

Alex Caruso Explains When Stephen Curry Is Most Dangerous; Talks About Guarding LeBron James
Alex Caruso Explains When Stephen Curry Is Most Dangerous; Talks About Guarding LeBron James originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso has established himself as one of the better defenders in the NBA. Caruso gets the hardest assignments on a nightly basis, and during an appearance on the Dan Patrick Show, he spoke about the difficulties when it comes to guarding Stephen Curry. Advertisement "That's the biggest thing that people talk about that I don't know if regular NBA fans understand is like scouting report of him is he's most dangerous when he gives the ball up," Caruso said. "Because even when he comes down, he gives the ball up. Now all of a sudden, they're going to movement. "Him and Draymond are so connected," Caruso continued. "He knows exactly where to go, how to make the reads. And as a defender, I always think that people set illegal screens, and they get away with a couple." Caruso, who has made two All-Defensive teams, stated he doesn't wait for Curry when the former MVP is dribbling the ball up the court. If you don't get close, the Golden State Warriors superstar gets to pick up the pace, and that makes the two-man game with Draymond Green all the more dangerous. Curry ran riot against the Thunder the first time he played against them in 2024-25. He put up 36 points (12-23 FG), five rebounds, seven assists, one steal, and one block to power the Warriors to a 127-116 win. Advertisement Caruso and the Thunder did manage to slow Curry down a bit in the second meeting. The superstar guard had just 21 points (6-15 FG), one rebound, four assists, and one steal, but the Warriors still won 116-109. A playoff series between these teams would have been quite interesting, but we weren't lucky enough to witness it. A matchup between the Thunder and the Los Angeles Lakers would have been fascinating as well. It would have pitted Caruso against his former teammate, LeBron James, and he spoke about what it's like to guard the NBA's all-time leading scorer. "He just tries to post me up because he's 6'8," 260 pounds, and that's like 70 pounds heavier than I am," Caruso stated. "I didn't get to guard him when he was like freak LeBron. He's in Year 20-something now, he has a more refined game, but still can go up and play above the rim. "But I've noticed that with me, he goes to the post-game right away," Caruso added. "He's not moving laterally quick enough and downhill quick enough for how I like to guard because I'm going to climb up into the ball a little bit. But once he gets to the post, it's a challenge." Advertisement James averaged 23.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.0 steals per game against the Thunder in 2024-25 when Caruso played. He wasn't quite at his dazzling best, but then again, not many were. The Thunder finished the regular season with a dominant 68-14 record and went on to win the championship. It was Caruso's second title, after winning one with the Lakers in 2020. The 31-year-old made it clear during this interview that he wasn't interested in comparing the two titles and stated they're both the best. Caruso and the Thunder will now aim to repeat as champions, a feat last accomplished by Curry and the Warriors back in 2017 and 2018. They're perhaps the team best equipped among all the champions since then to pull off that feat.
