Get live news and analysis Saturday at 5:30 p.m. during the Warriors showdown in Oklahoma City against the Thunder.
The teams have split their previous two games in Oakland, but this game lost a lot of intrigue with the news Saturday morning that Kevin Durant will sit out while resting his right knee. The Warriors’ star has been a target of Thunder fans’ anger the past three years since leaving Oklahoma City.
The Warriors (46-21) did just fine without Durant on Wednesday when they knocked off the Houston Rockets 106-104 in a game Golden State controlled for most of the night.
