Christmas came early this year for OKC hoops fans and Jaylin Williams. The Oklahoma City Thunder are headed to Las Vegas for the NBA Cup Semifinals.
At the risk of overhyping a regular season December game, OKC’s win over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night at the Paycom Center was both a statement to the rest of the Western Conference and the Thunder’s biggest victory of the season.
Coaches and players understandably take the 82 game mindset and don’t value any single win or loss over the rest. But as one of over 18,000 in attendance for the NBA Cup quarterfinals clash, it sure didn’t feel like a regular ‘ol Tuesday night at The Paycom Center.
