OAKLAND, CALIF. — Hand in his face, obvious contact not called, Paul George missed his off-balance 3-pointer. He didn't stop moving.
The Thunder had faced more adversity than a missed foul call this season, so George didn't stand on the left wing and complain. When Patrick Patterson corralled the offensive rebound, George was cutting full speed to the rim.
The result was a statement dunk and a 125-105 statement win over the defending champions.
The Warriors didn't come into Tuesday's game playing championship-level basketball, allowing opponents to shoot 45.5 percent from 3-point range and turning the ball over an average of 17.
