The Oklahoma City Thunder have been a dominant team all year, leading the NBA with a 68–14 record led by league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. While the young Thunder haven't "been there before," as the team lost in the Western Conference semifinals in their first playoff appearance under coach Mark Daigneault a year ago, they've absolutely looked the part this postseason.
OKC swept the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round and survived a tough seven-game series against a battle-tested Denver Nuggets squad to reach the conference finals. After the Thunder's Game 4 win over the Timberwolves on Monday night—a 128–126 bounce-back road win after a blowout loss in Game 3—Daigneault says there's very little he has to learn about his squad.
