Defending Stephen Curry and the Warriors from behind the 3-point line is always a challenge, and on Thursday the Thunder weren’t quite able to get solid enough contests as Golden State hit 19 shots from behind the arc.
All season long the Thunder has set its sights at preparing its players for night-to-night NBA challenges by stacking itself up against the best of the best. More often than not for a young team, those types of matchups will come with growing pains. That was the case on Thursday night in San Francisco as the Thunder dropped one to the Warriors, a team that has been battling through injuries all season but is on the cusp of securing a spot in the playoff play-in games.
