NBA Finals resume Monday night in Oklahoma City with a pivotal Game 5 between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers. The series is tied, 2-2, after OKC's comeback win on the road in Friday's Game 4.

So transfixed by not only the team, but also the city, Anderson’s magazine story was the precursor to “Boom Town” — Anderson’s book, published in 2018, that intertwines the rise of Oklahoma City with Thunder basketball. “Boom Town” is equal parts historical and hysterical in telling the story of Oklahoma City.

No team in NBA history has scored more points in a season than the Thunder. That gave the Thunder 12,162 for the season, breaking the mark of 12,161 scored by the Golden State Warriors in 104 games during the 2018-19 season.
