With this victory, the Warriors officially get a place in the playoffs, their victory can not be worse than the eighth place in the West, even if they lost all their remaining games. Now, 47-21, the Dubs remain at the top of the West and have a one-game lead over the Nuggets with 14 games to play in the regular season. This will mark the seventh consecutive season in which the Dubs are playing in the playoffs, a new franchise record for consecutive playoff games.
The Dubs started strong, getting contributions from almost everyone. Stephen Curry had 13 of his 33 points, a high point in the game, and surpbaded 16,000 career points, making him the fifth player in franchise history to reach that milestone.
Klay Thompson also made an important step by defeating Sacramento Kings legend Peja Stojakovic to 17th on the NBA's three-point scoring list in the first quarter. Thompson finished with a trio of three points in the evening and with 1,763 splashes in career, he has 24 lines behind Rashad Lewis (1,787) to rank 16th. But perhaps the best Thompson game was obtained with a right handed hammer from a sweet Andre Iguodala dish.
The Splash brothers were not the only ones to connect remotely. Four different Warriors made a pointer trio in the first quarter, including two from Curry, Thompson and Draymond Green. Quinn Cook and Alfonzo McKinnie were going to hit a trey in the second quarter, and the Dubs as the team got a 10-for-18 lead in the distance while shooting better than 53% of the total in the first half.
While the warriors lost their balls, thunder was struggling to cope. Oklahoma City shot only 32% of the field and Russell Westbrook missed his first eight shots before being the first to fall in the third period. He finished the game 2-for-16 from the ground for seven points, and the Thunder, the fourth team with the most goals in the NBA, was limited to 88 points.
After finishing the first period with a 13-3 run to take their lead to 18, the Dubs, who were never led in the game, maintained that double-digit advantage in the second half and earned their eighth win on the road against a team with a winning percentage of .600 or better.
The Warriors, who were without Kevin Durant for the second consecutive game, are 2-0 on this four-game road trip, which resumed Monday in San Antonio.
