The Mind-Blowing Second Coming of the Oklahoma City Thunder
On the leaderboard of all-time N.B.A. finals appearances — Lakers (32), Celtics (23), Warriors (12) — you will have to scan very far down to find the Oklahoma City Thunder. This week, when the Thunder face the Indiana Pacers for the championship, it will be the team's second trip. That might not sound impressive — until you consider that the franchise has existed for only 17 years. (The Celtics have been around since 1946.) The Thunder was born, chaotically, in 2008, and since then the team has operated at a level of success that puts many older organizations to shame. In its eyeblink of an existence, OKC has made five conference finals and produced three league M.V.P.s. Since 2009, it has won more regular-season games than any team except the Celtics. Thunder players, past and present, have driven a disproportionate amount of the league's recent drama. In a sport where relevance is hard to sustain, OKC seems overdue for a down period — underachieving stars, iffy chemistry, a slow slide into mediocrity. Instead, somehow, the Thunder are better than they have ever been. This season, the team won a shocking 68 games, tied for the fifth-most in N.B.A. history, and smashed the record for a stat called point differential — basically, a measure of how badly you steamroll everything in your path. (OKC outscored opponents by an average of 12.9 points per game, breaking the 1972 Lakers' average of 12.3.) This Thunder team is young, feisty, wild, precise, mean, giddy and overloaded with talent. It enters the finals as heavy favorites to win its first championship. No team, however, reaches the peak of basketball glory without at least one near-death experience. OKC's came a few weeks ago, against the Denver Nuggets, in Game 7 of the second round of the playoffs. The series was an instant classic. The fact that the Thunder survived, and the way they did so, is a perfect illustration of what makes the team so special. For OKC, the first round of the playoffs went exactly according to plan: They annihilated the Memphis Grizzlies, winning the opening game by 51. But that joy didn't last for long. Because in the second round, the Thunder ran into a serious problem — one of the biggest problems in the history of basketball. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Craig Bellamy hopes longer training camp can help Wales extend unbeaten run
Wales hope to reap the benefit of an extended training camp for their World Cup qualifying double header after recognising June was where they came unstuck in their failed Euro 2024 campaign. Wales, who host Liechtenstein in Group J on Friday before facing Belgium on Monday, lost crunch matches against Armenia and Turkey in June 2023 before missing out on last summer's finals after a playoff defeat to Poland. Advertisement Wales had a four-day training camp before those June defeats but in January this year Craig Bellamy and his Wales staff planned to increase their preparations to enhance their fitness levels at the end of the season. Related: 'People think I have disappeared': Joe Morrell raring to go after 492 days out Wales organised a nine-day camp last month, half of which was at their Vale Resort base on the outskirts of Cardiff, the other half at the La Finca resort near Alicante, Spain, to prevent a physical drop-off across the team. Bellamy has said the number of squad members playing in the English Football League presents challenges, because the final games of the regular Championship season were on 4 May, more than a month before the visit of Liechtenstein to Cardiff, for which Wales will be without the Leeds winger Daniel James through illness. Advertisement Bellamy said such a long break is 'not acceptable' for international football and felt the training camp enabled his players' muscles not to 'shut down'. He said: 'It's not designed for international football so we have to interrupt their break but they [the players] completely understand because we need to keep them moving. We have been able to do that and I feel that has been beneficial, especially this week. I feel like we're in very good shape leading into this one. The Wales manager, who is unbeaten in eight matches since his first game last September, said Wales cannot afford to disrespect Liechtenstein, who are 205th in the Fifa rankings. 'Do I understand people looking past it [Friday's game]? Of course I do,' Bellamy said. 'Do I understand that people believe we should win? Of course I do. But I was up late last night, I didn't sleep. Does that tell you something? I treat every team the same. I've watched the same amount of Liechtenstein as I have of everybody else. 'I honestly believe if you disrespect the game, it will catch you out. The same messages have been fed to the players as well. We have to be us. Fight for every ball. Recovery runs. Reactions. We have to be consistent no matter who we're playing against. The top teams are the ones that are consistent.' Bellamy said his side must be patient in order to extend their unbeaten run. 'We have to enjoy it because that's how we get a chance to improve,' he added. 'No frustration, no highs and lows, no rollercoaster rides. We have to remain consistent. If we have to win this game in the 89th minute, we'll win it in the 89th minute.'
