The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Dallas Mavericks 133-86 in the final game of the 2023-2024 NBA regular season at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on the 15th (Korea time).

Oklahoma City has ended its historic regular season. With 57 wins and 25 losses overall, the team tied with the Denver Nuggets (57 wins and 25 losses), but led the team 3-1 in total to clinch No. 1 spot in the Western Conference. It is the first time in 11 years that Oklahoma City has taken the top spot since the 2012-2013 season.

According to local media ESPN, Oklahoma City is the youngest team to win the No. 1 seed since its seeding began in 1984. The average age of Oklahoma City is just 23.9 years. He is nearly two years younger than the 2004-2005 Phoenix Suns, who were the youngest ever to do so.

The third place in the Offensive Rating League (118.3), which means the expectation of scoring per 100 offensive opportunities, the fourth place in the Defensive Rating League (111.0), which means the expectation of losing points, and the net rating, which shows their difference, ranked first in the Western Conference, boasting a perfect balance of offense and defense (7.3 points).

At the center of the attention was Shai Gilgeous Alexander, one of the strong MVP candidates, who played 75 games this season with an average of 30.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 2.0 steals. He also expressed satisfaction with his No. 1 ranking.토토사이트

"I still can't believe it. That's why it was a fun season. I always played to win. I feel good, and I think everyone can be proud enough. But there's still a lot of work to do," he said in an interview after the game.

"We always feel it. We have the best player on the court," Oklahoma City manager Mark Deigildt said. "He is a Gilzer Alexander. His calmness and confidence have influenced us a lot as one of the youngest teams in the league."

In addition, Chet Holmgren, who competed fiercely with Victor Wembanyama of San Antonio for the Rookie of the Year, also has a presence. He played 82 games, posting an average of 16.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 2.3 assists, both inside and outside.

Holmgren said, "Rather than congratulations, I want the fruits of all our hard work to be recognized. We didn't come this far by accident. There has been a lot of dedication and hard work. The celebration is not yet. We haven't reached our goal. We are looking to win."
