Oklahoma City Thunder fans to celebrate NBA title with a parade after years of heartbreak
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma City's unwavering fans finally get to celebrate a championship after suffering through several close calls and heartbreaking moments the past two decades. The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Indiana Pacers on Sunday to clinch the NBA title, and the city will hold a parade on Tuesday morning to honor its first major professional championship. Finals MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, All-Star Jalen Williams and their teammates will pass through downtown for an event that is scheduled to last 90 minutes. Oklahoma City first hosted an NBA team during the 2005-06 season, when the New Orleans Hornets temporarily relocated after Hurricane Katrina. Oklahoma City's fans fell in love with the team and a young point guard named Chris Paul who would be named rookie of the year. The Seattle SuperSonics relocated to Oklahoma City in time for the 2008-09 season, and fans feverishly supported the team, despite its early struggles. The Thunder became contenders with young stars Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden. Even with all that talent, they couldn't break through. They lost to the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals in 2012, and Harden left for Houston. A possible run in 2013 was derailed when Westbrook was injured during the playoffs. The 2015-16 team led the Golden State Warriors 3-1 in the Western Conference finals before losing the series in seven games. Durant left to join the Warriors after that season, ending that version of the Thunder. Westbrook was the league MVP in 2017 and averaged a triple-double for three straight seasons, but the Thunder never got out of the first round those years. ___

Knicks reportedly interviewing Timberwolves assistant Micah Nori for head-coaching job after firing Tom Thibodeau
After some early stumbles, the New York Knicks' coaching search is starting to take shape. The team added yet another name to its list of candidates Tuesday, reportedly interviewing Minnesota Timberwolves assistant Micah Nori, per ESPN's Shams Charania. Nori has been around the game for quite some time, serving as an assistant coach since the 2009-10 NBA season. He spent his first four years in that role with the Toronto Raptors. After brief stops with the San Antonio Spurs, Denver Nuggets and Detroit Pistons, Nori has spent the past four seasons as the Timberwolves' lead assistant. Advertisement Nori doesn't have experience as a head coach, though did briefly serve in the role after Chris Finch tore his patellar tendon following a collision with Mike Conley in Game 4 of the first round of the 2024 Western Conference playoffs. Nori coached the team for the final minute and a half. The Timberwolves led by three points when Finch was injured. The team went on to win the contest 122-116. Finch returned to coach the team's next game — the Western Conference semifinals series vs. the Denver Nuggets — though Nori was charged with managing the "game interaction and the game flow," Finch said at the time. Due to the injury, Finch was unable to sit courtside, and could not get up to call timeouts or interact with the players on the court. The Timberwolves won the first two games of the series before falling to the Nuggets in seven games. This story will be updated.
