The Golden State Warriors are leaning heavily on veteran experience, leadership and IQ, but sometimes that can only take you so far which was painfully evident on Tuesday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
They looked old and slow. That's the painful reality that was on display against the reigning champions, with the Warriors unable to penetrate the league's best defense while equally struggling with the Thunder's length and athleticism on the other end of the floor.

The much-celebrated veteran core of Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green had little to no impact at Paycom Center, combining for just 29 points on 20 shots in the 126-102 defeat to the hosts.
