Despite sweeping the Lakers without their dynamic two-way swingman, OKC’s path to dominance hinges on reuniting its lethal lineup of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Ajay Mitchell, Chet Holmgren, and Williams. Can the “death lineup” unleash a new level of firepower in the Western Conference Finals? Rylan Stiles breaks down how the Thunder’s roster depth, defensive versatility, and clutch shooting have elevated them from last year’s champions to this season’s title favorite.
