Safe to say the Thunder passed its first test of the playoffs. Oklahoma City mauled Memphis 131-80 Sunday to take a 1-0 lead in the Western Conference first-round series.

The Thunder are about to show why they're the most dominant team this season by continuing to demolish the Grizzlies.

The dawn of what figures to be a long playoff run is as good a time as any to look back. To remind ourselves how the Thunder got here, to the point where Oklahoma City is the favorite to win the NBA title.
