What word encapsulates the state of the Knicks, Pacers, Thunder and Wolves as they take part in the conference finals?
The NBA's final four is set in stone and it is no coincidence that they are the only teams to not be hit by the injury bug during this year's playoffs. It leaves the league facing a potential problem with its season.
Thunder knocked out the Nuggets, the 2023 champions, to advance to the league's final four. The Knicks, Pacers and Timberwolves are the other three teams vying for a title.
However, an announcement by the league on Monday upset Thunder fans. The league has already crowned all of the season awards, and now just has to name their MVP and All-Rookie, Defensive, and NBA teams.
The Thunder left no doubt in Game 7, dismantling the Nuggets behind 22 forced turnovers and a swarming defense.
