The writing seemed to be on the wall before this game started. The Oklahoma City Thunder were not only fighting for playoff positioning, but to stay in the playoffs. The Golden State Warriors were locked into the second seed.
The Warriors were also without Stephen Curry, Andre Iguodala, Shaun Livingston, Patrick McCaw, Omri Casspi, and Kevon Looney. And they’ve been struggling to find any rhythm as they deal with the score of injuries.
So yeah, the writing was on the wall. The Dubs weren’t supposed to win this one. And when the Thunder jumped out to a 7-0 lead to start the game, it felt inevitable.
