Holmgren helped the Thunder finish as the first seed in the Western Conference with a 57-25 record.

They made the NBA playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season when Chris Paul was still on the roster.

In the first round, the Thunder swept Brandon Ingram and the New Orleans Pelicans.

However, they lost to Kyrie Irving and the Dallas Mavericks in the second round (in six games).

In addition to Holmgren, the Thunder have All-Star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and a roster that is filled with young talent.

The franchise looks like it will be a contender for many years to come and is in arguably the best position in the NBA going forward.
