Mark Daigneault’s team had one of the best seasons in league history, finishing 68-14 in the regular season and adding 16 wins in the playoffs to capture the title. Their 84 total wins rank third all-time, behind only the 2016-17 Golden State Warriors (88) and the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls (87).

Difficult as it may seem, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is desperately trying to not think about what may await the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Thunder — three years removed from winning 24 games — won 84 games this season and are NBA champions after beating the Indiana Pacers in a seven-game NBA Finals slugfest.
