The Thunder cruised to a 126-107 win over the Rockets, who finished with the second-best record in the West. Holmgren scored 29 points in 29 minutes on 8-for-14 shooting from the field, 4-for-6 shooting from deep and 9-for-10 shooting from the free-throw line.

The NBA champion is set to move to a new downtown OKC arena in 2028. That means only three more seasons will be played at Paycom Center. The $900 million construction cost guarantees the Thunder will stay in OKC through 2053 once it signs a new long-term lease.

As the NBA heads on vacation over the next two months with its driest part of the calendar, the Thunder have a pretty good idea of when they'll receive their championship ring. The NBA published its key dates for the 2025-26 regular season.
