The OKC Thunder continued its Las Vegas Summer League run with a win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday. Here are our takeaways.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have clinched a spot in the NBA Summer League playoffs, just two wins away from making NBA history.
(Last season 49-33) They have been to back-to-back Western Conference Finals and Anthony Edwards is still improving — do not sleep on this team. The Timberwolves locked up Julius Randle and Naz Reid, but losing Nickeil Alexander-Walker is going to sting. A lot.
The 2-0 Thunder face the 0-2 Magic at 6:30 p.m. ET on NBA TV from Las Vegas with Jase Richardson and Chris Youngblood looking to build on strong performances.
As the vast majority of the teams around the league wrap up their NBA Summer League schedules, there’s still a three-game playoff bracket ahead for a few teams.

OKC Thunder Wire on MSNFormer Thunder star Paul George ranked No. 78 in NBA historyDespite a lack of playoff success, George is one of the defining players of the NBA's 2010s. He made several All-Star and All-NBA teams. The two-way wing was also named on a handful of All-Defensive Teams. His biggest contribution to OKC happened off the court.
Summer standouts Johnny Furphy, Quenton Jackson and RayJ Dennis didn't play Thursday. But rookie Kam Jones did, and had another impressive outing.
