Golden State took out some frustration on the Thunder as they pulled away in the 2nd half to even things up at 1-1 in the series.
Now, the series shifts to Oklahoma City where the Warriors look to avoid the same troubles the Spurs had.
Oklahoma City Thunder
Oklahoma City was a bit tentative in the 2nd half against the Warriors, which led to their dismay.
Turnovers and horrible shots allowed the Warriors to pull away, but the Thunder can’t hand their heads too much. Oklahoma City did exactly what they needed to as they split the series before coming back home.
Now holding home court is a huge key. The Thunder showed they can handle their business at home as they took Game 4 and Game 6 against the red hot Spurs.
The Thunder have been stellar as a whole at home, going 36-11 on the season.
Golden State Warriors
The Warriors were a bit taken back after their Game 1 loss.
After a back and forth first half, the Warriors created some space before the first half ended. The Thunder then came out flat in the 2nd half and Golden State turned up the pressure and pulled away.
The Warriors now will look to go into a hostile environment and steal back the home court. On the season, the Warriors have gone 36-9. Their offense has been on point, as they’ve averaged 113 points per game.
Shot selection was the biggest difference here. The Warriors were jacking up three pointers in Game 1, especially in the 4th quarter when the game was close.
In Game 2, they were attacking the basket and creating open looks for themselves.
Look for that to be the same gameplan here, as Golden State looked like a completely different team in the two games.
