The Golden State Warriors pulled off their gutsiest win of the season, taking down the Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder 116-109 despite missing Kuminga and Draymond. This victory showcased the Dubs resilience and team-first mentality.
Andrew Wiggins led the charge with 27 points on efficient 10-of-17 shooting, including five three-pointers. Steph Curry overcame early struggles to finish with 21 points, hitting clutch shots down the stretch. Kevon Looney had a career night with 18 points, while Gary Payton II added 15 in a well-rounded team effort.
The Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was nearly unstoppable, pouring in 52 points. However, Golden State’s defense locked in during the second half, limiting OKC to just 109 total points - well below their season average.
What made this win so impressive was how the Warriors overcame adversity. Missing key players, facing an elite opponent, and battling through Curry’s slow start could have derailed them. Instead, they showed grit and determination to secure a statement victory.
The ball movement was stellar, as we recorded 30 assists - a key indicator of success for the team. When they share the ball like that, they’re tough to beat.
This win provides a much-needed boost and shows the Dubs can still compete at a high level when locked in. While one game doesn’t erase all concerns, it gives us momentum heading into upcoming matchups against the Suns and Magic.
