A Thunder sideline reporter during a postgame interview with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Surrounding vibes Oklahoma City Thunder are always flawless, and why shouldn’t they be? The freight train that is the Thunder continues to roll, as they move to 33-6 on the postseason Philadelphia 76ers shorthand on Tuesday night, 118-102. And as is the case after every home win, the Thunder roster is ready for some shenanigans during a postgame interview with FanDuel Sports Network’s Nick Gallo.

Usually, almost the entire Thunder roster is present for the postgame interview as a show of solidarity for their best player of the game, a distinction that typically belongs to Shay Gilgeous-Alexander. That was certainly the case on Tuesday, as he had 32 points and nine assists in their win over the 76ers. But this time, the OKC contingent that was present during the interview made Gallo funny.

For some reason, Thunder players such as Jalen Williams, Luguentz Dort and Jailin Williams hung towels all over the reporter’s side, with Gilgeous-Alexander delivering the final blow — implying that Gallo’s face should be covered for the sake of the kids watching at home.

Some may take these Thunder shenanigans the wrong way; they may take this kind of fun as a sign of the team’s immaturity or inability to take these games seriously. But this OKC team is one of the youngest in the league and they just make the most of everything they have. And their play has been so elite this season that they’ve earned the right to do whatever they want (as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone) without others falling on their parade.

The Thunder continue their rush to the top of the league

The Thunder have long been the association’s sleeping giant, but have now blossomed into a powerhouse, with Sam Presti puts together another master class on how to build a competitive team. OKC has by far the most complete team in the association, as they have the personnel to match any other offensive unit – with Shai Giljus-Alexander leading the charge as an MVP-caliber player.

It’s amazing that the Thunder have gone on this incredible run of late despite not having Chet Holmgren and Alex Caruso on the active roster. Things are only going to get better from here for Oklahoma City, especially as they entertain the world regardless of how others perceive their actions.
