The Thunder are up 2-0 in a playoff series for the first time since 2013. As they aim to go up 3-0 in Game 3, here's a trifecta of observations from the opening round so far.
So far, so very good
The 2014 Western Conference Finals team led by Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook that won 59 games somehow never led a series 2-0. The infamous 2016 OKC team that was up 3-1 on the Warriors didn’t do it. The 2024 Thunder has already won more playoff games than the Russ MVP squad and the Russ/PG13 team eliminated by Dame’s bad shot in 2019.
