Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder begin their repeat quest against the Phoenix Suns in Game 1 of the first round.<\/p>\n

There has not been a repeat champion in the NBA since the 2017-2018 season. Since then, a different team has won the NBA Championship every season. The Oklahoma City Thunder look to change that, starting with Game 1 in the first round against the Phoenix Suns. Oklahoma City ended the regular season with the best record in the league for the third straight season. They had the fifth-highest scoring offense led by the reigning MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Oklahoma City also had the second-best scoring defense in the NBA, led by Chet Holmgren, Cason Wallace, and a relentless attacking style on that end.<\/p>\n
