The Oklahoma City Thunder capped off last season with a historic finish by winning their first NBA Finals in franchise history. The Thunder secured 68 regular-season victories and stood out as one of the best defensive teams in recent memory. MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the driving force behind the team’s success. However, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams also emerged as legitimate stars capable of strengthening the supporting cast. They will aim to defend their title this coming season, but it won’t be easy, as the Western Conference only got stronger during the offseason.
