It wasn’t the cleanest performance, but the Golden State Warriors made short work of the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday, as they should have and needed to do.
And now they get to run it back, in their same home arena, against the same bad, tanking team.
If they don’t run back the same result, it will be a massive disappointment.
