The Oklahoma City Thunder completed an amazing season.

Locked in a Game 7 battle with the Indiana Pacers, the Thunder used an avalanche in the second half to defeat the short-handed Pacers 103-91.

After winning an NBA-best 68 games and holding the No. 1 defensive rating in the league, the Thunder have reached the mountaintop for the first time since the franchise moved out of Seattle to Oklahoma City back in 2008. The franchise technically won a championship as the SuperSonics back in 1979, but the team left its Seattle history behind after the move to Oklahoma City.

The Philadelphia 76ers will look to make the right decision on draft night on Wednesday. Following a miserable 24-58 season, the Sixers will look to add a talented young piece to the roster with the No. 3 overall pick. There are a number of options they can look at in order to build a roster to contend for a title. With the No. 3 pick, the Sixers can look at Rutgers star Ace Bailey, Baylor's VJ Edgecombe, Texas' Tre Johnson, or one of Duke's Kon Knueppel and Khaman Maluach in a trade-down option.

A lot of the NBA world has had something to say about Rutgers star Ace Bailey and his pre-draft strategy. Most view him as the No. 3 prospect behind Duke phenom Cooper Flagg and Rutgers teammate Dylan Harper, but he has slid on most draft boards. The Philadelphia 76ers hold the No. 3 pick in the draft on Wednesday and they were supposed to host Bailey for a workout, but the lanky star canceled it at the last minute.

Dinwiddie was an important piece of Philadelphia's front office
The Atlanta Hawks and new General Manager Onsi Saleh are finalizing deals to hire New Orleans Pelicans GM Bryson Graham as the team's Senior VP of Basketball Operations and Philadelphia 76ers executive Peter Dinwiddie as Senior VP of Strategy and Analytics, sources tell ESPN. https://t.co/Mm9haiGQyN
I will say, I’m getting major 2001 Finals vibes through these 1st 2 games. Let’s see what the Pacers have in store for Game 3 on Wednesday.
This is going to be a big sequence early in this one that will be swept under the rug. Wiggins hopping off the bench and knocking down those 3s were back breakers for Indiana.
Difference between Games 1 and 2 is Wiggins hit 2-3 swing shots that kept Indi out of transition offense in the 2nd half. There were a couple in the fourth quarter of Game 1 that OKC left on the board that helped keep the momentum of the comeback going. Wiggins silenced it in G2.
