OKLAHOMA CITY -- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 15 points in one half of action and the Oklahoma City Thunder rolled past the Dallas Mavericks 135-86 on Sunday to clinch the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference playoffs.
Oklahoma City finished with the same 57-25 record as the Denver Nuggets but owned the tiebreaker. The Thunder hadn't finished as the top seed since the 2012-13 season.
The Thunder entered the final day in a three-way tie with the Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves for the best record in the Western Conference, the first such occurrence in NBA history.
