Thunder break NBA record for total points in a season, including playoffs
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A record for Oklahoma City: No team in NBA history has scored more points in a season than the Thunder. It's a nuanced record, taking into account both regular season and playoff games. And technically, the Thunder would have broken the record on Wednesday if their appearance in the NBA Cup championship game — which is considered an exhibition — counted in any league totals. But now, no matter how one counts, it belongs to the Thunder. They came into Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Indiana Pacers needing 68 points for the record and got it on a free throw by NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with 6:09 left in the third quarter on Friday night. That gave the Thunder 12,162 for the season, breaking the mark of 12,161 scored by the Golden State Warriors in 104 games during the 2018-19 season. Friday's game was the 102nd official contest for the Thunder this season. (They scored 81 points in the NBA Cup championship game loss to Milwaukee in December, a point total and outcome that doesn't factor into any season stats.) The total-points record is the latest entry on a history-making season for the Thunder, who set a franchise record with 68 regular-season wins and — if they win the NBA title — would become the fourth team in league history to post at least 84 victories in a full season. Only Golden State (88 wins in 2015-16), Chicago (87 in 1995-96) and the Bulls again (84 in 1996-97) have reached 84 wins in a season. 'I think there's just a lot of integrity to the team,' Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said when asked how the team doesn't seem fazed by its numbers. 'I think that starts with the makeup that these guys have. Great psychological makeup, competitive makeup, personal makeup. Then over time we've had to really kind of forge into this version of ourselves, in visible spaces.' The total-points mark is obviously fueled by longevity of the season. The Thunder were only fourth in points per game during the regular season behind Cleveland, Memphis and Denver, and when adding in playoffs Oklahoma City's scoring average this season was only 27th in NBA history. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. That said, no matter how the finals end, it has been a season that will be in the Thunder record books for a long time. In addition to the scoring, the Thunder are currently second all-time in average point differential per game (12.2 entering Friday) behind only the 1970-71 Milwaukee Bucks. It helps illustrate how big a turnaround the Thunder have enjoyed after going 22-50 in the 2020-21 season, then 24-58 a year later and 40-42 the year after that. 'We haven't relied on anything outside the outcomes,' Daigneault said. 'The noise, we haven't relied on that when we weren't winning. We haven't relied on that while we were building. We haven't relied on that while we were rising. We're not relying on that now that we're in a different position.' ___ AP NBA:

Hartenstein back in starting lineup for Thunder for Game 4 of the NBA Finals vs. Indiana
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Oklahoma City went back to the lineup it used throughout the first three rounds of the playoffs on Friday night, returning Isaiah Hartenstein to the starting five for Game 4 of the NBA Finals against Indiana. Hartenstein started alongside MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, Lu Dort and Chet Holmgren. The Hartenstein-Holmgren pairing gives the Thunder a pair of 7-footers in the opening five, and Oklahoma City was 12-4 in the Western Conference playoffs when starting that lineup. That fivesome was also 9-4 when starting games together in the regular season. The Thunder had Hartenstein coming off the bench for the first three games of the finals, with Cason Wallace starting in his place. Indiana took two of those three games. 'We have a lot of optionality that we draw on, almost nightly,' Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said earlier in the finals. 'If you followed our team throughout the season, I think you know that flexibility and adaptability is the only constant. We're never staying the same. I know we started the same lineup in the playoffs, but our rotation night to night in these series has been incredibly variant. We think that's a strength of our team.' The change comes after Indiana scored 50 points in the paint in Game 3, after managing only 34 in each of the first two games of the series.

Create Account Nick Taylor and Taylor Pendrith are leading the way among Canucks at four-over par, seven back of leader Sam Burns. There weren't many pars on Pendrith's scorecard as the big-hitter from Richmond Hill, Ont. made five birdies and seven bogeys in high-event round of 72 at Oakmont. 'It was nice to make some putts today. I made one birdie yesterday and it was with a wedge so I did not putt any birdies in yesterday,' he said. 'It is scoreable if you put the ball in the fairway, but if you miss the fairway you are in full scramble mode.' Pendrith's five-foot par putt on the 18th hole did a full horseshoe of the hole before being rejected and sending him into a tie with 2023 RBC Canadian Open champ Taylor at four over. 'I hit a nice putt and got a full 360 lip-out,' Pendrith said. 'It can happen here.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

The Dundas, Ont., native is still recovering from a stomach bug he suffered through at last week's Canadian Open, but has the claim to fame of making it through two days at Oakmont without making anything worse than bogey. 'On a course like this bogeys are easier to accept, it's when you compound them with a three-putt or maybe you wedge out and then miss the green,' he said. 'You have to be disciplined after that first mistake, and you have to concede, if you will, and then limit the damage on the next one.' 'Everyone is getting beat up, everyone is having a hard time. You make a bogey and have a little stretch where it's not going great, well, everyone is having one of those. I think it's nice in that sense.' Corey Conners shot 74 and will begin Saturday at six over. Celebrity World World Golf Canada
