Oklahoma City finished as one of just four teams in the league in the Top 10 in both offensive and defensive efficiency (Golden State, Houston, Toronto). The Thunder ranked 10th in defensive rating with and in offensive rating with The Jazz and Thunder are meeting in the playoffs for the first time. Take Five: In the win over Utah on April 25, the Thunder overcame a 25-point deficit in the third quarter by mustering a 32-7 run in the final 8:30 of the frame, marking the largest comeback in Oklahoma City history across both the regular and postseason. This was the 2,556th time over the last 20 seasons (including both regular season and playoffs) that a team trailed by 25-or-more points in the third quarter and the first time that team entered the fourth tied or ahead. In this game, Russell Westbrook (45) and Paul George (34) combined for 79 points, the most by a duo in franchise playoff history while Westbrook joined Wilt Chamberlain (1964) and LeBron James (2012) as the only three players in NBA history with 45 points, 15 rebounds and five assists in a postseason game. Dominant in the Postseason: With a win over Miami on April 9, the Thunder clinched its eighth playoff berth.

Of the other 29 NBA franchises, 24 have fewer triple-doubles in their entire team history than the 104 that Westbrook has logged in his career and since he entered the league in 2008, he holds more than twice as many as any other NBA franchise during that timeframe (Rockets have 43).

This makes him one of ten players in league history to record a triple-double on opening night (LeBron James, Jason Kidd, Chris Duhon, Gary Payton, Clyde Drexler, Scottie Pippen, Fat Lever, Larry Bird and Lewis Lloyd). His 16 assists are the most in an opening night triple-double in league history. Wild, Wild Westbrook, the Lone Ranger: In the Thunder s victory over the Jazz on Dec. 5, Russell Westbrook blocked his 200th shot, setting himself apart as the only player in the history of the NBA with at least 200 blocks, 5,000 assists and 15,000 points within his first 700 games. In the March 18 win over Toronto, Westbrook dished out his 6,000th assist, making him the only active player besides LeBron James with at least 6,000 assists and 4,800 rebounds (one of 13 all-time). Hip, Hip Jorge: Paul George tallied five straight games with at least five made three-pointers from Feb. 6-14, making him just the fifth player in NBA history and first Thunder player to produce such a streak (George McCloud, Dennis Scott, Stephen Curry, James Harden). Only McCloud has registered a longer streak (six games from Feb. 25 to March 5, 1996). Not Taken for Grant(ed): In the Thunder s win over Toronto on March 18, Jerami Grant scored his 1,000th point in an OKC uniform, making him just the fourth Thunder player with at least 1,000 points and 100 blocks in his first 150 games (Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka, Nenad Krstic).

Additionally, on Dec. 3 vs. San Antonio, Grant played his 100th game in an OKC uniform, making him the only player in Thunder history besides Serge Ibaka to log at least 600 points, 250 rebounds and 90 blocks in his first 100 games. 25K Magic: On Jan. 27 at Detroit, Carmelo Anthony scored his 25,000th career point, which makes him just the 21st player in NBA history and the 10th forward to reach that mark. Anthony is one of just four players in league history with as many points while shooting at least 34.5% from three-point range (Dirk Nowitzki, Reggie Miller, Paul Pierce) as well as the 11th fastest player to do so. League of Legends: Oklahoma City sprinkles the NBA career leaderboards as Carmelo Anthony and Russell Westbrook hold the third and eighth best scoring averages among active players with 24.1 and 23.0, respectively. Additionally, Westbrook has the second-best career usage rating in NBA history (32.73) behind Michael Jordan and the fourth-best career assist percentage (42.4). Among active players, Westbrook has the sixth-highest career average for steals per game (1.74) while Paul George ranks eighth (1.71).

He stands as just one of three players in NBA history with at least 15,000 points, 5,000 assists and 4,000 rebounds before age 29 along with Oscar Robertson and LeBron James. Paul in a Day s Work: On Dec. 27 vs. Toronto, Paul George grabbed his 3,000th rebound and on Dec. 13 at Indiana he snagged his 800th-career steal, making him the only player since he was drafted in 2010 with at least 3,000 rebounds, 800 steals and a three-point percentage of.370 or better. In that same timeframe, he is one of just five players with at least 8,000 points in 400 starts or less alongside Damian Lillard, Isaiah Thomas, Kyrie Irving and Kemba Walker. Abrinesolutely Amazing: On Dec. 9 at Memphis, Alex Abrines set a new career-high with 20 points (7-10 FG, 6-8 3FG) en route to scoring his 500th-career point.

Dating back to the start of the season, OKC has gone (.740) at home, which stands as the second-best home record in the NBA during this span. Since the season, Oklahoma City has earned 150 wins on home court, which ties Houston for the third-most home wins in that timeframe (Golden State 170, San Antonio 169). Sustaining Success: In the past nine seasons, OKC has compiled the second-best record in the NBA (behind San Antonio). After the season in which Oklahoma City won 20 games after a 3-29 start, the Thunder found ways to improve the club in each of the four subsequent seasons. With a record during the season, Oklahoma City became just the second team in NBA history (Boston, ) to increase its winning percentage for five consecutive seasons (while maintaining a winning percentage of.700 or better in two of those seasons). Oklahoma City has now finished with a winning percentage of.610 (equivalent to 50 wins) six times dating back to the season. Only the San Antonio Spurs (eight seasons with.610 or better winning percentage), have reached that benchmark more during this period. After finishing the season with a record of 48-34, OKC is now one of three teams (Houston and San Antonio) to maintain a.500 or better record in each of the last nine seasons. The chart to the below illustrates the development of the Thunder program through the years.
