Last Time Oklahoma City Thunder Made the Conference Finals

The Thunder played in their most recent Western Conference finals in 2016. They were one game away from the NBA Finals, but the Golden State Warriors mounted one of the most forgotten 3-1 series comebacks in NBA history.

The Warriors blew a 3-1 lead of their own to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals.

Last Time Oklahoma City Thunder Won a Championship

Oklahoma City has never won a championship as the Thunder. However, when the franchise was known as the Seattle SuperSonics, they won the 1979 NBA championship.

Seattle beat the Washington Bullets in five games in the NBA Finals.
