The Oklahoma City Thunder have clinched the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference after a significant victory over the Dallas Mavericks, winning by 49 points. This win marks their 57th of the season, a stark contrast to two seasons ago when they won only 24 games. The team's remarkable turnaround is highlighted by their performance, considering they were once deemed the disgrace of the NBA in December 2021 after a 70-point loss. Their achievement has garnered respect and admiration for taking a long-term view and enduring the necessary growing pains to build a sustainable team.
