A Shift in Fortune: The Oklahoma City Thunder's Long Streak Comes to an End The Oklahoma City Thunder have ended a 33 game streak of being favored, marking the first time they've entered the playoffs as underdogs since 1989.
This shift in fortune comes after the San Antonio Spurs were favored by 1. 5 points in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals.
Their remarkable run has drawn comparisons to two of the greatest teams in NBA history: the Michael Jordan led Chicago Bulls, who held a 34 game streak from 1995 97, and the Golden State Warriors, who set the record with a 36 game stretch of being favored during their 2015 16 championship season.
