Oklahoma City Thunder

Historic in their youth and ambition, the Oklahoma City Thunder enter the 2024 NBA Playoffs looking over the entire Western Conference from the bird’s eye view of the No. 1 seed. Carefully carving out their franchise’s best regular season since 2013-14, Oklahoma City was as multifaceted as they came, becoming one of just two teams to produce a top-five finish on offense and defense. Engineering the drive with yet another All-NBA-bound season, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander punished opposing defenses on the way to a second-consecutive 30-point average (30.1 in 2023-24), despite selflessly sharing the offensive onus with four other double-digit scorers. Ready for their close-up after rising to the top of one of league history’s most competitive Western Conferences, Oklahoma City has plans to put the Association on notice over the next few weeks. This Rare Redemption can be crafted into the best play from the Oklahoma City Thunder after each round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs.
