Thunder Clinch #1 Seed for Third Straight Season Behind Chet's 30-Piece

The Oklahoma City Thunder have officially clinched the #1 seed in the Western Conference with a dominant 128-110 win over the Clippers, becoming just the 7th wire-to-wire top seed in post-merger NBA history. They're also the first team to hold the #1 seed for three consecutive seasons since the Warriors dynasty from 2014-15 to 2016-17.

Chet Holmgren was the story of the night, going absolutely nuclear with 30 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 4 blocks on a ridiculous 10-of-13 shooting. The 7-footer had 24/8 at halftime alone. Here's the wildest stat about Chet: he has never finished worse than a #1 seed in his entire basketball career — high school, Gonzaga, and now three straight years in the NBA.

SGA also wrapped up his regular season shooting 55.4% on two-pointers outside of 10 feet, a number that sounds made up until you watch him play. This Thunder team isn't just good — they're historically dominant, and the rest of the West should be terrified.
