The 2014-15 Oklahoma City Thunder season was marked by challenges and resilience. The team faced significant adversity due to injuries to key players, impacting their overall performance. Kevin Durant, the reigning MVP, played only 27 games due to a foot injury, which was a major blow to the team’s aspirations. This left Russell Westbrook to shoulder the burden of leadership and scoring.
Westbrook delivered an exceptional individual performance throughout the season, finishing with an average of 28.1 points, 8.6 assists, and 7.3 rebounds per game. His efforts included a remarkable stretch of four consecutive triple-doubles in February. Despite Westbrook’s heroics and securing the NBA scoring title, the Thunder struggled to maintain consistency without Durant and other injured players like Serge Ibaka.
Under head coach Scott Brooks, the Thunder ended the regular season with a 45-37 record. They found themselves in a tight race for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. However, they narrowly missed the postseason, finishing ninth, just behind the New Orleans Pelicans, who held the tiebreaker. This marked the first time since the 2008-09 season that the Thunder missed the playoffs.
Despite the setbacks, the 2014-15 season showcased Westbrook’s emergence as a dominant force, setting the stage for future successes. The disappointing season led to significant changes in the offseason, including the dismissal of Scott Brooks as head coach, paving the way for Billy Donovan’s appointment.
- Regular Season Record: 45-37
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
