It is over.
Climbing complete. The reconstruction is rebuilt. Oklahoma City Thunder are heroes.
The best team throughout the season was the best team at the end, as it brought the American Professional League title to Oklahoma City for the first time. Gilgeous-Elexander ended his MVP season with 29 points and 12 decisive passes, and thunder defeated Indiana Besars-who lost Teres Haleporton due to a serious leg injury in the opening minutes-103-91 in the game 7 of the American Professional League Finals on Sunday night.
“It doesn’t seem real,” said Gilgus Alcander, MVP. “Several hours. Many moments. Many feelings. Many of the nights of disbelief. Many nights of belief. It is crazy to know that we are all here, but this group worked for it. This group was placed in hours and we deserve it.”
Gallin Williams scored 20 points, Chit Holmegrin, at 18 thunder points, which ended a season throughout the ages. Oklahoma City won 84 games between the regular season and the qualifiers, as the Chicago Bulls team linked 1996-1997 in third place in any season.
Golden State (88-17) and The Bulls (87-16) won more.
It is the second championship of the privilege. Seattle Supersonx won the American Professional League title in 1979; The team was transferred to Oklahoma City in 2008. There is nothing in the rafters in Oklahoma City to celebrate this title.
In October, he is finally coming a championship banner. Thunder sign.
“They are behaving like the heroes. They are competing like the heroes,” said Daigneault. “They shine for each other’s success, which is rare in professional sport. I have said that several times and now I will say it again. They are an unfamiliar team and they are now heroes.”
Paisers led 48-47 in the half, even after he lost Haleporton when his father said was an injury to Achilles, about seven minutes from the match. But they outperformed 34-20 in the third quarter, when thunder built 13 points and started fleeing.
“A deviation, but it is proud of everything we have accomplished,” said Besters T -JJ McConnell.
Bennedict Mathurin has achieved 24 points and 13 rebounds for Indiana, which is still awaiting her first title in the American Professional League. The Paisers-who was 10-15 after 25 games and they made an offer to be the first team in the history of the American Professional League, which turned this bad at first into a 1-0 and 2-1 championships in the series, but they simply did not have enough in the end.
Local teams improved to 16-4 in the 7S American Professional League Finals. Thunder has become the seventh champion in the past seven seasons, which is a group of parity like anything else in the history of the American Professional League.
The Paces Pascal Siakam striker was part of the Toronto team that won 2019, Thunder Alex Caruso was part of the Los Angeles Lakers team who won the “bubble” in the 2020 pandemic, Milwoki won in 2021, and Golden Stayet won in 2022, and Besus Thomas Brian and Denfar striker in 2023, Buston won last time.
Now, thunder gets his role. The smallest team to win a title in nearly half a century has reached the top of the American Professional League Mountain.
The Thunder is the ninth privilege to win a title in the seasons of the American Professional League Commissioner Adam Silver 12. His predecessor, David Stern, witnessed eight privileges, won a title in his thirtieth seasons as a commissioner.
“It is really painful on the one hand,” said Bessers coach Rick Carlail. “On the other hand, this team gave both the Pacer result something very proud of it.”
