Thunder 2024 Playoff Schedule: Every playoff game (updated)

The Oklahoma City Thunder are changing the narrative of their organization this year. After three years of not making a playoff appearance, they clinched the top spot in the West, with five starters aged 25 or younger.

The Thunder made the advancement from a 24-win lottery organization to the best team in the West in just two years.

Last season, the Thunder made an improvement — they lost in the second game Play-In Tournament but sparked attention across the league. Now, this time, they're waiting for the Play-In Tournament to confirm who they will play next.

Oklahoma City entered the last day of the regular season in a three-way tie for first place in the West with the Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves. The Thunder finished with a 57-25 record, the same as the Nuggets, but OKC owned the tiebreaker.

This makes them the youngest team to earn the No. 1 seed since seeding began in 1984.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been leading the team in an MVP candidate season, averaging 30.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 6.2 assists. In addition Jalen Williams has been contributing 19.1 points per game.

It also doesn't hurt that they have one of the best rookies this season in Chet Holmgren. The No. 2 pick in the 2022 NBA draft has been showing up on the floor for the Thunder, averaging 16.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks per game.
