After the Oklahoma City Thunder punched their ticket to the Western Conference Finals with Sunday's Game 7 win over the Denver Nuggets, prognosticators expect them to go all the way.

The New York Knicks haven't won an NBA championship since 1973. The Indiana Pacers won their most recent title that year — in the ABA. The Oklahoma City Thunder franchise has one title in its history, that coming in 1979 when the team called Seattle home. And the Minnesota Timberwolves have never even been to the NBA Finals.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are the clear favorite to win the NBA title before the conference finals get started.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the best player on the floor in the Thunder’s win on Sunday as a young squad passed their biggest playoff test yet.
