Thunder Break NBA Points Record, Trail Pacers 2-1

The Oklahoma City Thunder have set a new NBA record for total points in a season, surpassing the previous mark of 12,161 held by the 2018-19 Golden State Warriors during their NBA Finals series against the Indiana Pacers. Despite trailing 2-1 in the Finals, the Thunder remain favorites to win the championship based on overall team strength. The Pacers have exploited Oklahoma City's late-game execution issues to secure key victories. Historical precedent shows that regular-season dominance does not guarantee postseason success, as seen with teams like the 2015-16 Warriors and 1995-96 Bulls. The Thunder must overcome their late-game struggles to secure a championship and solidify their legacy. Their record-breaking season could place them among the NBA's all-time great teams if they prevail.
