Barring a Chicago Bulls upset win on Friday, the Thunder will get a chance to clinch it at home with a win over the Memphis Grizzlies in their regular-season finale on Sunday.

Let’s look at the best footage shot as the Thunder were welcomed back with cheers in what is a fan tradition of waiting at the airport for them.
