The Warriors and Thunder game may have been the biggest game of this year so far. Two of the top teams in the NBA battling it out for an exciting game. Stephen Curry who leads the NBA in most points scored per game vs Kevin Durant who is third in most points scored per game. The Golden State Warriors had only 5 losses with 53 wins going into this game. The Thunder had 18 losses and 41 wins. This game was in Oklahoma City stadium (one of the loudest arenas in the NBA).
This game was neck and neck. The Thunder came out strong in the beginning of this game leading the Warriors 30-20 by the end of the first quarter. Then in the second quarter the Warriors scored 26 points and the Thunder scored 27. The score was now 57-46, the Thunder in the lead. After halftime, the Warriors closed up the point difference. They outscored the Thunder 32-26 making the score 83-78 at the end of the third quarter, the Thunder still winning. The Warriors weren't done yet, they scored 25 points in the fourth quarter with huge three pointers from Stephen Curry. The Thunder scored 20 points in the fourth quarter making the score tied at 103. They were going into overtime. With even more huge three pointers by Stephen Curry including one near half court to win the game, the Warriors came out on top beating the Oklahoma City Thunder 121-118.
This was a big scoring night from both Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant. Stephen Curry led the game in points scored with 46. Kevin Durant behind him with 37 points. Stephen Curry also broke his "most three pointers scored in a single season" record. Stephen Curry had 12 three pointers in this game. Russel Westbrook also had a good game with 26 points, 13 assists, and 7 rebounds, but he and Kevin Durant had no one else on the Thunder to step up. There were only three people with 15 points or above on the Oklahoma City Thunder. Now for the Warriors, they didn't need anyone else to play well because of Stephen Curry's monster performance with 46 points, 6 assists, and 14/24 shooting. To back him up, Curry had Klay Thompson, winner of the NBA Three Point Contest, with 32 points and 3 assists. Only one other player on the Warriors had over 10 points, Andre Iguodala. The Warriors are still chasing the dream of having a record like the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls.
