Nothing could have happened to Oklahoma this Sunday night. The Thunder, aided by the magical duo of Gilgeous-Alexander (35 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists) and Jalen Williams (24 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists), crushed Denver (125-93) in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals. Given previous encounters, one might have expected a close encounter. It wasn't to be.

Nikola Jokic's teammates - still brilliant this Sunday evening with 20 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists - had started the match well before lacking physical freshness and being taken by the Thunder's flame. As proof, Oklahoma even conceded a 27-5 in less than five minutes. Unforgivable at this level.

Oklahoma City therefore joins Minnesota, the club of Frenchman Rudy Gobert , who beat Golden State 4-1 in the Western Conference final.
