Highlights were aplenty in the Warriors' 117-91 rout of the Thunder on Whiteout Night at Oracle Arena.
GAME LEADERS
The Warriors took the cue from their opponent’s name and brought the thunder from the opening tip, beating Oklahoma City 117-91 on Monday’s Whiteout Night at Oracle Arena.
The Dubs got off to a great start, thanks in large part to Klay Thompson. The sharp-shooting guard went on a scoring binge, tallying 13 straight Warriors points over a 1:25 stretch early in the game. Thompson’s personal 13-2 run was punctuated by an alley-oop dunk off a Draymond Green assist, and that was just one of the many Warriors highlights in this adrenaline-filled rout that saw the Dubs in front by double digits for nearly the final three full quarters.
Whether it was Stephen Curry’s dazzling dribbling displays or Harrison Barnes sinking 3-pointer after 3-pointer, the Warriors were in control of this one from the very start, and the 97th straight sellout crowd on Warriors Ground loved every minute of it.
Barnes led the Warriors with 23 points, matching a career-high with five three pointers on five attempts. Curry stuffed the stat sheet with 19 points, nine rebounds, six assists and four steals and Klay Thompson had 19 points, including a high-flying dunk over multiple defenders that sent Dub Nation into an absolute frenzy.
