The NBA regular season has come to an end, and for the first time since the 2008-09 campaign, the playoffs will commence without the Oklahoma City Thunder. OKC finished 45-37 and fought for a postseason spot up until the final game, but the team was unable to overcome a sickening amount of critical injuries.
All things considered, the Thunder deserve credit for not throwing in the towel when they had every reason to do just that.
Kevin Durant played just one game after the All-Star break due to complications from foot surgery.
