The Thunder did it — they outscored their opponents by more points than any team in NBA history at 1,055. On average, Oklahoma City won by 13 points. Simply a powerful basketball team, and point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander averaged only 1.9 turnovers with 7.3 assists over the last five weeks of the season.

Along the way, they got an All-Star campaign from Tyler Herro and are getting the All-Star version of Bam Adebayo in more recent games. The big man is averaging 21.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.4 threes, while shooting 43.5 percent from deep, over his last 35 games.

Luka Dončić carried the Dallas Mavericks to the Finals last season and has some of the most eye-popping all-time playoff stats in the league, averaging 30.9 points, 9.4 rebounds and eight assists over four postseason appearances.
