The irony of what came next, of course, is that the Thunder would promptly hit the pause button on all the script-flipping that has been happening at such a historic rate in this postseason. And they did it by reminding the masses that it’s their team — not the Cleveland Cavaliers squad that is down 2-0 to the Indiana Pacers or those shellshocked Boston Celtics — that was far and away the scariest of them all during the regular season. Lest anyone forgets, Oklahoma City ended the 82-game grind with a point differential of 12.6 that set a new league record while outscoring their opponents by 1,055 points (!) combined along the way. The 1971-72 Lakers — that title team which featured the likes of Jerry West, Gail Goodrich and an aging Wilt Chamberlain — held the previous mark of 12.3.
