The Ottawa Senators are hoping Fabian Zetterlund will be a part of several more playoff pushes.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Michael Jordan was in his seventh season and Scottie Pippen was in his fourth when they led the Chicago Bulls to their first NBA Championship back in 1991. They would go on to win five more in the next seven seasons, logging two three-peats along the way.

They earned recognition as one of the best — if not the best — two-man tandems in NBA history.

There are many reasons why trying to shoehorn Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and the Oklahoma City Thunder into a comparison with the earliest days of the Bulls dynasty is way premature.

Among them: the Thunder have yet to win an NBA title, and the Bulls never needed seven games to decide an NBA championship.

But the Bulls weren’t the Bulls until they toppled the fading Los Angeles Lakers in five games in 1991.

And the Thunder can take a giant step towards becoming whatever they are meant to be with a win in Game 6 against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday night in Indianapolis, which would earn the Thunder, Gilgeous-Alexander and Williams their first championship.

It’s hard to imagine it would be their last.
