Lakers legend Magic Johnson issued a public apology to the newly minted Western Conference champion Oklahoma City Thunder for doubting them.

This win officially marks a major victory for the Thunder, who are now slated to make their first Finals appearance since 2012. It was a true team-wide effort for the ball club, led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who averaged 31.4 points per game in the series.
