Paying respects to the unrealized potential of the Warriors-Thunder rivalry

OKLAHOMA CITY -- It was the first play of the game and as is customary in Oklahoma City, the (mostly) full house crowd stood waiting the first bucket of the game for the home team. The Oklahoma City Thunder were playing the Golden State Warriors on a Saturday night in the big town, typically standard appointment viewing for any NBA fan.

The Warriors were caught in a mismatch and the Thunder posted Steven Adams on the right block. He spun off of a Warriors defender and laid in a smooth righty layup to grant permission for the fans to sit.
