The Warriors have struggled against Oklahoma City this season losing both of their previous meetings by a combined 47 points.
Golden State’s most recent loss to the Thunder was a wire-to-wire blowout at Oracle Arena, which was arguably the lowest point of the season as that signified the Warriors’ third loss in four games.
The Warriors looked like a different team after the All-Star break in Thursday night’s victory over the Clippers. They had their most impressive first quarter performance in a while as Steve Kerr decided to shake up the rotation by replacing Zaza Pachulia with JaVale McGee in the starting lineup.
