OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — The Oklahoma City Thunder dominated in Game 1, taking one step closer to defending the title, and Thunder fans showed up for their team, loud and proud.

Thunder fans showed out at Scissortail Park, local restaurants, and the Paycom Center to support Oklahoma’s team as they took on the Phoenix Suns.

“I feel like the chemistry is unmatched with our team, and I feel like everybody is really vibing, so I feel like we can do it again,” said Megan Hanson, a Thunder fan.

“The atmosphere is electric, like loud city is loud city for a reason, like it really is one of a kind,” said Dylan Howell, a Thunder fan.

Sunday marks Game 1 of the NBA playoffs’ first round, and Thunder fans are hopeful about what lies ahead.

“We got the MVP, and we’re the number one seed for a reason. So we are feeling good,” said Cameron Ray, a Thunder fan.

The big game brought in fans from all over, even people from out of state, like Brandon Binno from Michigan.

“We had front row seats right on the floor. I mean, it was like electrifying,” said Brandon Binno, a Thunder fan.

Many Thunder fans say OKC is taking it all the way. Others are saying they’re taking it one game at a time.

“Feeling good! We’re one of the favorites, first seed coming out, but you can’t be complacent. The teams do a good job, they help each other, they’re young,” said David Muñoz, a Thunder fan.

However, after last year’s championship win, Thunder fans are hoping it’s just the beginning of a repeat.

“Going back to back, there’s not a whole lot of teams that do that. This team’s special though, they’re getting better and better every time they play,” said Blake Hunt, a Thunder fan.

One down, fifteen more to go. The next game will be on Wednesday at 8 pm.
