The Oklahoma City Thunder achieved a remarkable feat by clinching their first NBA championship since relocating from Seattle, defeating the Indiana Pacers 103-91 in Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Star player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander sealed the victory with 29 points and 12 assists, while also being named Finals MVP. This championship caps a season where Oklahoma City won 84 games, tying them for the third-most in NBA history. The franchise now prepares to honor their achievement with the unveiling of a championship banner in October.
It doesn't feel real, said Gilgeous-Alexander, the Finals MVP. So many hours. So many moments. So many emotions. So many nights of disbelief. So many nights of belief. It's crazy to know that we're all here, but this group worked for it. This group put in the hours, and we deserve this.
Oklahoma City won 84 games between the regular season and the playoffs, tying the 1996-97 Chicago Bulls for the third most in any season.
