The Oklahoma City Thunder are no longer defending NBA champions. Atter a little under a year, the intense elation of a title and subsequent regular season dominance has ended after a heartbreaking Game 7 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals. While social media rejoices, I find myself lamenting each play that turned the tides of the game against us. There is solace in knowing that Oklahoma City is still one of the best teams in the league. I strongly believe that, with a healthy Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell, the series would have looked much different. With a lottery pick in the upcoming draft and the addition of Thomas Sorber from last year’s draft, this team is poised to be better — irrespective of tough roster decisions ahead. ✍️: Aditya Hariharan . . . #ucberkeley #dailycal #berkeley #okc #chetholmgren
