2025 Thunder looking like mirror image of 2015 Warriors as they set sights on first NBA championship

  • The 2024-25 Oklahoma City Thunder secured their spot in the NBA Finals by closing out the Minnesota Timberwolves with a 124-94 victory in Game 5 on Wednesday night in Oklahoma City.
  • This achievement follows a playoff run that mirrors the 2015 Warriors, including a sweep of the No. 8 seed and multiple significant fourth-quarter comebacks.
  • Led by 26-year-old MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder share the Warriors’ blend of youth, defensive dominance, and clutch performances throughout the postseason.
  • Oklahoma City ranks top in defensive efficiency with a +7.4 mark above league average, and coach Michael Malone said the team is “absolutely unrelenting on defense.”
  • The Thunder enter the championship as strong favorites, and a victory could position them to build a lasting legacy similar to the Warriors' dominance from ten years ago.
