WATCH: Fans welcome OKC Thunder at airport following win over Jazz

The Thunder didn’t arrive in OKC until 2:30 a.m. CT, but that didn’t stop a group of fans from cheering for them.

Following the Oklahoma City Thunder’s win against the Utah Jazz, they received a much-deserved welcome from fans.

After their win against the Jazz, the Thunder are a win or Dallas Mavericks’ loss away from clinching a play-in tournament berth as the 10th seed.

Barring a Chicago Bulls upset win on Friday, the Thunder will get a chance to clinch it at home with a win over the Memphis Grizzlies in their regular-season finale on Sunday.

After going on a two-game trip to wrap up their road schedule, fans battled cold weather to wait at the airport to welcome the Thunder and celebrate their win.

The Thunder didn’t touch down on OKC until 2:30 a.m. CT, so it was a late night of celebrating as they acknowledged the die-hard fans for staying up.

Let’s look at the best footage shot as the Thunder were welcomed back with cheers in what is a fan tradition of waiting at the airport for them.
