The Oklahoma City Thunder have clinched the first seed in the Western Conference standings following the NBA’s Sunday regular-season finale slate. They will now wait for the results of the play-in tournament to determine their first-round opponent.
The Thunder’s blowout win over the short-handed Dallas Mavericks helped secure this result. The Phoenix Suns assisted by handing a loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 57-25 Thunder are the youngest No. 1 seed in league history.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander headlined the Thunder with a serious MVP case. Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams round out one of the league’s best trios.
Let’s see what X, formerly known as Twitter, had to say about the Thunder’s massive accomplishment.
