The No. 1-seed Oklahoma City Thunder closed out their series with the Pelicans on Monday, winning in four quick, decisive games.

Game 4 was another grindy contest, with a late eight-point surge from Jalen Williams sealing the deal. It was Oklahoma City’s second sweep in franchise history, the other coming in the team’s 2012 title run.

Here’s how social media reacted:

The Thunder break out the brooms in NOLA.

OKC gets their 1st series win since 2016 and their 2nd ever sweep in franchise history.

An absolutely historic night that has been the culmination of a lot of hard work.

Enjoy this one to its fullest Thunder fans, you deserve it.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is even in awe seeing what Jalen Williams is doing here late.

You can see it on his face — he loves watching this kid become a star on the big stage just like the rest of the world.
