Lu Dort sends 6-word warning to NBA after Thunder sweep Pelicans with Game 4 win
By Mark Nilon
Not only are the OKC Thunder the youngest team in NBA history to enter the postseason as a number one seed, but, with Monday's Game 4 triumph over the New Orleans Pelicans, they have officially become the youngest team to win a playoff series.
All year long, Mark Daigneault's club has defied the odds. From upping their win total by a whopping 17 compared to the year prior to, now in the playoffs, putting forth a wildly unorthodox rotation that, to this point, has worked wonders, Oklahoma City is amid a truly magical run.
Of course, with their sweep over NOLA, the ride isn't over yet for Oklahoma City, and, following their series-clinching victory, defensive stalwart and heart-and-soul contributor Lu Dort issued a six-word warning to the rest of the association that should get Thunder fans hyped.

"It feels good. We got more."

Despite their lacking familiarity with postseason play, the Thunder have been firing on all cylinders during these early stages of action.
Not only are they tied for the best record in the playoffs thus far (Timberwolves are the only other team to sweep this year), but they find themselves leading the league in a multitude of categories including defensive rating (93.5), net rating (16.2), PIE (59.9), and effective field goal percentage (56.3).
As for personal accomplishments, Oklahoma City now is heading to the Western Conference Semifinals for the first time since the oft-compared-to Kevin Durant era of Thunder basketball.
It's official, folks: OKC has officially arrived, and they've not looking to slow down anytime soon!
