An assistant on the 2012 team, coach Kalamian has a pretty good insight into how the two squads would fare in a seven-game series.

We know Loud City is the best place to watch a Thunder game, but some fans are headed to Indianapolis to watch the Thunder play the Pacers in Game 3.

The Oklahoma City Thunder bounced back from a Game 1 loss in the NBA Finals in a significant way Sunday night, defeating the Indiana Pacers by 16 points. The stifling Thunder defense we've seen in the playoffs showed up Sunday, as the Pacers were never able to get in a real rhythm.

His all-around impact gave the Thunder a significant edge as Draymond Green elaborated, "He's so important to everything they do. "

It’s quiet at KD’s old place. Not empty, mind you. There are people enjoying the burgers and salads and well-made drinks in this restaurant, which is now known as Charleston’s, in the Bricktown neighborhood that serves as downtown’s major entertainment hub.

The Thunder didn’t even exist in Oklahoma City when the 1995 bombing happened; the franchise that had been known as the Seattle SuperSonics didn’t relocate to America’s heartland until more than a decade later.

During his time suiting up for the Sonics, Wilkerson wore only jersey No. 33 and put up 6.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game.

Sam Anderson, a staff writer for The Times Magazine, first wrote about the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2012. He is the author of “Boom Town” (2018), a book about the team and the city it calls home.
