The Oklahoma City Thunder had the best record in the Western Conference this season at 68-14. That was a full 16 games better than the team in second place. 

While OKC is the #1 seed in the West, they still have plenty of doubters. Many analysts want to see the Thunder prove themselves in the postseason before they earn respect. On Monday, the Thunder lost Game 1 of the conference semi-finals at home to the Nuggets. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander told the media after Game 2 that OKC was “desperate” for a win. Their effort level in Game 2 was evident. The Thunder scored 87 points by halftime, a new NBA postseason record.
