OAKLAND – Down by as many as 20 points, the game could have been over for the Thunder early on Saturday night. Instead, it didn’t flinch, and gave itself a chance in crunch time.
It was a thrilling Saturday night matchup the night before the Super Bowl was set to be hosted in San Francisco, but the Golden State Warriors made a few more plays down the stretch than the Thunder did, as Head Coach Billy Donovan’s club fell 116-108.
Despite a 20-point second quarter deficit, the Thunder put itself in position to potentially win the game down the stretch, tying the game up at 104 with just under four minutes to go.
