The Oklahoma City Thunder are back home in OKC on Tuesday night for Game 5 of the Western Conference Final against the San Antonio Spurs.
And they've brought the nuns with them -- sort of.
Nuns went viral recently during the Spurs home playoff games, and apparently theyinspired some Thunder fans.
No, not inspired them religiously, but in outfit choice:

Why are Thunder fans dressed up as nuns?
They're playing off the nuns at Spurs home games that have gotten noticed earlier in this series.
The thing is: Those San Antonio nuns are actually religious sisters. They're the real deal.
The Spurs-attending nuns are Salesian Sisters of St. John Bosco.

They first began attending Spurs games more than 20 years ago, according to Sports Illustrated.
“It started about 20 years ago,” Sr. Bernadette Mota of the Salesian Sisters told Sojourners. “We had a couple elder sisters at our provincial house, our retirement house for our sisters who need assisted living. Some of them were born and raised in San Antonio, and anytime there was a game on they would watch it. And they would get very irritated when the game had to be turned off because it was bedtime. These were die-hard Spurs fans, and since then, those sisters have passed away. But we have other sisters who have taken the baton.”
While there may be some legitimate religious sisters in attendance for the Thunder at home, one thing is for sure: Those men in the clip above are not nuns.
