Gameday Preview: OKC Thunder face litmus test against defending champs and top-seeded Warriors

The OKC Thunder are coming off a frustrating loss to the Indiana Pacers. The Thunder built a lead as large as 19-points on Thursday night. However, thanks to a sloppy close to the third and the entire fourth quarter a crashing Wesley Mathews grabbed an offensive board an ultimately put the Thunder away 108-106.

The game was the perfect microcosm of the Thunder’s season. In the first half, OKC built a large lead, they were getting everyone involved playing team basketball, and Paul George was on fire dropping 20-points through the first and second periods.

Then after halftime, Oklahoma City looked like a different team.
