2) Oklahoma City Thunder
Are the Oklahoma City Thunder the second-best team in the Western Conference? Probably not. Having said that, they’re probably the hottest club in the Association and the OK3 clearly has a plus-one in Steven Adams, who has played like an All-Star at times this season.
In short, OKC finally got woke. And Russell Westbrook is rounding back into MVP form. That’s a really bad thing for the Association’s 29 other teams
The Thunder’s defense has been solid all season, but during their recent six-game win streak, the offense we thought we’d see has shown up in a major way. Over that stretch, OKC is scoring a league-best 116.9 points per 100 possessions.
Next: No. 1
