OKC vs. GSW would be a legit rivalry if the Thunder were any good.
The Oklahoma City Thunder showed scrap, they showed fight. Unfortunately, the scrap and the fight were mostly shown during a meaningless scuffle right before the half that led to a back-breaking Stephen Curry three pointer to put the Warriors up 20. But ... you know. At least the Thunder care? I guess?
The main thing I took away from this game: Stephen Curry got into a fight on court and dunked the ball in the same game. Heck, in the same half. Also: OKC fans are wack.
First Quarter:
I came in a little late, but my people were here for me, reminding me (teaching me? showing me?) how Stephen Curry had the hot fire going in the first few minutes.
“Legitimate 2 handed slam,” lol. I mean, I guess when it’s Steph, you have to quantify things in such manners.
Second Quarter:
Let’s talk about how incorrigible OKC fans are. Kevin Durant made his first appearance on the bench during a road trip, traveling with the team for the first time since his injury in the late February Wizards game in Washington D.C. And, again, OKC greeted him with a cupcake, however this time using a crutch.
Third Quarter:
After Curry’s three point put the Warriors up by 20 points — 59-39 headed into the locker room — the Thunder came out in the early part of third quarter firing away. I’ll say this about Westbrook: Dude is proud as hell and never gives up.
Fourth Quarter:
Actually, man. The crowd completely disappeared as it became apparent that OKC was going to lose. So, you’re telling me y’all are down with this cupcake nonsense and voting in a Russian spy, but not down to stay and witness a proper beatdown? C’mon. Come get your tickets’ worth here. It’s a carnival of your own creation! You voted for the cupcakes, and now y’all need to bask in their overheated, orange, disgustingly unworkable reality!
The Warriors didn’t quite win by 30, but they did end up winning 111-95.
It was a good night.
