The Oklahoma City Thunder clinched a spot in the playoffs, and they did it against the team they could face when the NBA postseason reaches its peak.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 34 and Chet Holmgren added 23 points and 15 rebounds to lead the Thunder to a 118-112 victory over Boston on Wednesday night in a much-anticipated potential NBA Finals matchup.
“We’re in March, not June,” Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said after the Thunder swept the two-game season series against the defending champions. “So we’re focused on March.”
