Warriors Dispel Any Notion They're Slipping with Statement Win over Thunder

Their focus was too blurred. Their bench was too thin. Their bellies were too full.

If that was your takeaway from how the defending champion Golden State Warriors played going into the All-Star break, know that the Warriors agreed with you. And if you thought that maybe the Oklahoma City Thunder were the team to exploit all that, well, there were some within the Warriors organization pondering the same possibility.

If you thought that any of that was a permanent condition, however, that's where you're on your own.

Playing in prime time against the lone team they hadn't beaten this season, one that torched them in their first two meetings, the Warriors turned the tables on the Thunder with a 112-80 win that was effectively over after three quarters, thanks to a 14-0 run to close the third.
