What to know
The last time these two teams faced off was back in late November where OKC stole a victory on the Warriors home court, 105-101. Headed by Shai Gilgeous Alexander’s 35 points, nine rebounds, and five assists as well as Isaiah Joe’s 17 points on 4/7 shooting from three, the Thunder closed out a close one.
And of course, especially for this season, there will be increased resentment towards Golden State as they were the team that led to Chet Holmgren’s rare hip injury back on Nov. 10.
