The Thunder plays a basketball game tonight. Against the Warriors. Maybe you’ve heard of them.
The events of the last day or so have shrouded what was shaping up as a battle royale rematch. Saturday night, the Thunder and Warriors staged one of the most celebrated regular season games in recent NBA history. Golden State, down 11 in the final five minutes, rallied to force overtime after Kevin Durant threw away the ball, then fouled Andre Igoudala. In OT, Durant fouled out early, the Thunder still took a lead and Golden State rallied again, winning on Steph Curry’s heroic shot, which has been estimated at ranging anywhere from 32 to 38 feet.
