team profiles
The Oklahoma City Thunder, which was founded in 2008 as the successor to the Seattle Supersonics, can look back on one of its greatest successes that reach the finals in 2012. At that time they lost to Miami Heat, but with key players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the MVP of the 2025 season, as well as Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams, the team seems more than ever. In the Regular Season 2025, they recorded 68 wins and overcome the playoffs, including with an exciting seven games long duel against the Denver Nuggets in the conference semi-final.

Their current team dynamics are based on balance and defensive presence. Top players like Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam, the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals, show impressive performances and drive the team forward. In the playoffs they prevailed against the New York Knicks with 4-2 and have therefore won a place in the final, such as Yahoo Sports emphasized.With an intensive best-of-7 format, in which a team needs four victories to win the title, this final series promises a lot of drama and basketball at the highest level.
