Why the OKC Thunder is Winning Beyond the Court
If you’re from Oklahoma, the NBA Finals is probably all you’ve been hearing about or maybe even talking about for the past week. The city is buzzing before every game: gathering in Scissortail Park, filling restaurants and packing the Paycom Center even while the team is away in Indiana. Fans have even gathered at the airport at 3:30 A.M. to welcome the team home win or lose. Sports announcers and players are calling the Thunder’s fan base, “Loud City,” one of the most energetic crowds in the NBA. A championship win could be on the horizon, but whether the Thunder end this series with the title or not, Oklahoma City has already won in so many ways.
