Thunder Clinch #1 Seed — Chet Goes Off for 30/14

The Oklahoma City Thunder are officially the NBA's top dog — again. Chet Holmgren erupted for 30 points and 14 rebounds while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander orchestrated with 20 points and 11 assists as the Thunder demolished the Clippers 128-110 to clinch the No. 1 overall seed.

At 64-16, this is the second consecutive season OKC has won 60+ games — the first time in franchise history. Last year they went 68-14 and won it all. The defending champs aren't slowing down.

The Thunder have now clinched the Western Conference's top seed for the third straight year. Home court through the entire postseason is locked. The rest of the West has been put on notice.
