The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Oklahoma City Thunder have officially clinched their spots in the 2025 NBA playoffs, reflecting their dominance throughout the regular season.

The Cavaliers, leading the Eastern Conference with a remarkable 55-10 record, have showcased exceptional form. Their recent 112-107 victory over the Miami Heat marked their 12th consecutive win, securing their playoff berth. Donovan Mitchell led with 26 points, while Evan Mobley contributed 16 points and 13 rebounds. This achievement is particularly significant as it's the first time Cleveland has secured a playoff spot without LeBron James since 1998. 

Meanwhile, in the Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder have also clinched a playoff spot, leading the conference with a 53-12 record. Their recent win against the Boston Celtics featured their versatility against the defending champions. Their consistent performance throughout the season has positioned them as strong contenders for the championship. 

As the NBA season enters its home stretch, both teams' impressive records and early clinching of playoff spots highlight their potential for deep postseason runs.
