The Oklahoma City Thunder (11-6) defeated the Golden State Warriors by a final score of 123-95 in Oracle Arena on Thanksgiving Eve. Dennis Schroder led the way for OKC, scoring 32 points as the Thunder demolished the two-time defending champs inside their own building. Tonight’s loss was Golden State’s fourth in a row — the first four-game losing streak in the Steve Kerr era.
The national TV audience was “treated” to a defensive showcase in the first quarter, as both teams combined to shoot 36.5 percent from the field. Paul George’s banked-three from the top of the key at the end of the quarter was the first three-pointer converted from either team, as they combined to shoot 1-of-14 from distance.
