It wasn't pretty viewing for the Golden State Warriors in their return to Chase Center on Friday night, suffering a 131-94 loss to the reigning champion Oklahoma City Thunder.
There was little in the way of positives for the Warriors in a disappointing albeit expected defeat, but the continued strong return of veteran center Al Horford was at least one silver lining to take from a rather forgettable evening.

It almost felt pointless Horford being on the floor given the youthful nature of the Golden State lineup, having been without veteran stars Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green, along with another key rotation piece in De'Anthony Melton.
