The Oklahoma City Thunder must be sick of playing fourth quarters. One night after blowing a 17-point lead against the Los Angeles Clippers in the final 7:27 at Staples Center, the Thunder lost another meaningful lead late on the road against a top Western Conference contender.
This time they at least had the excuse of playing a team that doesn't seem to know how to lose anywhere, let alone at home. Down 80-71 after a Serge Ibaka three-pointer with just under five minutes remaining in the third, the Golden State Warriors started an eventual 24-7 run covering more than six minutes to take full control of the contest and finish with a convincing 121-106 win at Oracle Arena.
