What does OKC Thunder's first-round sweep of Pelicans portend for rest of NBA playoffs?
The Thunder’s 4-0 sweep of the Pelicans in Round 1 marked the second sweep in team history. The only other time OKC was on the right side of a sweep was in 2012, when the Thunder beat the Mavericks 4-0 in Round 1 . That 2012 Thunder team made it all the way to the NBA Finals, where it lost in five games to LeBron James and the Heat.
