Thunder clinch the No.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have locked up the No. 1 overall seed in the 2026 NBA Playoffs after a dominant 128-110 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. Chet Holmgren was unstoppable with 30 points and 14 rebounds, while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander orchestrated the offense with 20 points and 11 assists.

At 64-16, OKC owns the best record in the league for the third consecutive season. They've gone on a ridiculous 19-1 run since late February to hold off the San Antonio Spurs for the top spot in the West. Home-court advantage throughout the entire playoffs is theirs.

The Thunder are built for the postseason. SGA is the frontrunner for MVP, Holmgren is a two-way monster, and the depth is the best it's been since the franchise relocated to Oklahoma City. The question isn't whether they'll make noise — it's whether anyone in the West can stop them.
