After surviving those old Celtics, LeBron James and the Heat get the Thunder’s young guns in the NBA finals.
Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and the rest of the Western Conference champions will host Game 1 on Tuesday night when the NBA’s championship series comes to Oklahoma City for the first time.
The Thunder finally got their opponent Saturday night when the Heat finished off the Celtics with a 101-88 victory in Game 7, sending Miami to its second straight finals berth.
James had 31 points and 12 rebounds to set up a marquee matchup with Durant, the NBA’s scoring champion whom he beat out for the league’s MVP award.
The Thunder will host the first two games before the series moves to Miami for Games 3-5.
