Sam said it three years ago. He works in Oklahoma City. Maybe you don't know this. First, the team was bad. Second, he used big words.

Presti said, "Work wins." This is a saying from Oklahoma. It means "Hard work wins."

Yes, for Thunder! They work hard. They work slow.

They won.

The Thunder team is good. They won many games. They are the champions now. They beat the Indiana Pacers. A good player, Shai, is on the Thunder team. The Thunder team will be good next year too.

They are young. Their ages are 27, 26, 26, 24, 23. They are good. They can win games.

We can be better. That is good. We can all be better. We are not old. We can grow. I like the future. This is a good start.

They are doing well now. This is good.

Many teams have questions. Oklahoma City does not. Some players are hurt. LeBron James will play. Stephen Curry will be older. Kevin Durant will go to Houston. Joel Embiid needs to be healthy. New York will have a new coach.

Oklahoma City is good.

Rick said: "The team has good players."

They like to play together. They are good players. One player is good at defense. He is very good.

The players do not care. The leaders do not care too.

Caruso said: "Things change in the game. Your team can change. You can get hurt. It is hard to win. We will play next year. We will try to win again."

Presti does not talk. Clay Bennett owns the team. He does not talk. Mark Daigneault is the coach. He is calm.

He said: "I wanted them to win. I am happy for them. They are good. They work hard."

The Thunder team's trip is not finished. It is just beginning. The team has money. They can buy a new player. Now they must win again.

Work! More work!

Presti said: "We have work. We must do it for our team."
