Sorry Durant: You are going to change from the first team history to the second team history

Durant is the most talented star in the history of the Thunder. It is easy for him to score 30+ points. In the 2012 playoffs, Durant scored 30+ points in 9 times, setting a record of 30+ points in the Thunder's single season playoff history. Durant once again set the record in the 2014 playoffs. He scored 30+ points in 11 playoffs that year, which means that the Thunder team's first and second-ranked 30+ times in the playoffs in a single season belong to Durant.

It is extremely difficult to challenge Durant's team record, but there is a player in the NBA that is expected to do it. He is Alexander. Today (May 23, 2025) in the Western Conference Final G2, Alexander made 12 of 21 shots (1 of 2 three-pointers), 13 of 15 free throws, scoring 38 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals, leading the Thunder to defeat the Timberwolves 118-103. The Thunder G1 and G2 beat the Timberwolves in two consecutive games, leading 2-0 in the series.

After scoring 38 points in this game, Alexander has scored 30+ for the ninth time this year, tying Durant's feat in the 2012 playoffs, and is still two different from Durant's 11 team history record in the 2014 playoffs. Alexander is in good shape at present. He scored 30+ in all of his last five games. With Alexander's form, he has great hope of breaking Durant's record in the next game and becoming the first in the Thunder's history. By then, Durant will become the second in the team's history.

Durant's best team-leading result in the Thunder was in the finals. In the 2012 playoffs, he led the Thunder to the finals, but unfortunately he lost to the Heat 1-4 and missed the championship. Alexander is expected to surpass Durant's team leader. The Thunder he led this season performed extremely well. He won 68 wins in the regular season and also performed strongly in the playoffs. He swept the Grizzlies 4-0 in the first round. Although he was forced to tiebreak by the Nuggets in the second round, they won 32 points in the Nuggets to advance. In the Western Conference Finals, the Thunder had a clear advantage against the Timberwolves. They are currently leading 2-0 and have great hope of reaching the finals.

In the regular season this season, the Thunder had a great record against the Eastern Conference team, with 29 wins and 1 loss, with a winning rate of 96.7%, setting a record in the NBA. If the Thunder enters the Finals, no matter whether the opponent is the Knicks or the Pacers, the Thunder has a very high chance of winning, and the Thunder has a great chance of winning.
