If at the beginning of the season, ask you who can break through to the West this year and make it to the finals? I believe that most fans will not answer the Thunder. Because this Thunder is too young, it has not achieved dazzling results in recent years, and there are many powerful Western Conference and many superstars. But this year's Thunder team has given fans too many surprises, not only has they won 68 wins and 14 losses in the regular season. The playoffs also held the Warriors' first record in 8 years, successfully breaking it.

This year, there are 3 teams with 60 wins in the league, the defending champion Celtics, and the most luxurious lineup of the All-Stars. They easily scored 61 wins and 21 losses in the regular season, and are considered the number one favorite to win the championship. But in the second round of the playoffs, he was reversed by the Knicks in a row and was eventually eliminated. The Cavaliers, the number one in the Eastern Conference, are all All-Star players, with a record of 64 wins and 18 losses. They are also favorites to compete for the championship, but facing the Pacers, they are defeated by the following and are also eliminated in the second round. The Thunder, the No. 1 in the Western Conference, achieved a record of 68 wins and 14 losses in the regular season, and is a top-notch existence in history. However, before the playoffs started, the outside world was not optimistic about the Thunder. Because Alexander was too young, Chett and Jaylen Williams were even in their rookie period. The team did not have enough playoff experience and did not have outstanding resumes.

However, the Thunder showed strong strength. In the first round, facing the Grizzlies, the eighth-ranked West, the strength of the two sides was very different. The Thunder easily defeated their opponent 4-1. In the second round, facing the Nuggets, Jokic led the system with strong strength, plus top puzzles such as Gordon and Murray, the two teams finally fought for 7 games before the Thunder could pass the game. After defeating the Nuggets, the Thunder's cohesion has also reached a higher level. Facing the Timberwolves, the Thunder swept away the fallen leaves like a breeze, easily defeating the opponent 4-1, and entering the finals stage.

It is worth mentioning that the Thunder played a thrilling performance at home today, and finally defeated the Timberwolves by 30 points with a score of 124-94, which can be said to have completely defeated the opponent. Not only that, this is also the Thunder's 61st game this season, with a net victory over their opponents by more than 10 points. They also successfully surpassed the Warriors team in 2017 and became the team with the most net-winning double-digits in a single season in history, which is also a reflection of the Thunder's strong dominance.

The Warriors in 2017 are considered one of the most powerful teams in NBA history, with five superstar players and a championship team without any suspense. That year, the Warriors' net profit of double digits in 60 games, and many fans believed that this record could not be broken again. But this year's young Thunder did it, they won double-digit net 61 games, showing their championship-winning temperament.
