In the first half, the Oklahoma City Thunder registered 79 points before halftime on the way to shooting 59.6% shooting from the field in the first half. Behind the Thunder’s red-hot shooting first half, they took a 10-point advantage over the Golden State Warriors in a pivotal game in the Western Conference playoff picture.
However, in the second half, it was a different story. Behind a strong defensive effort from the Warriors, the Thunder’s shooting went ice-cold and Jordan Poole took advantage.
Poole tallied 21 of his 30 points in the second half to fuel a comeback for the Warriors. Poole caught fire in the final frame, scoring 18 points on 5-of-9 shooting with three made 3-pointers.
Steph Curry added a game-high 34 points of his own on 11-of-25 shooting from the field with six made triples, six assists and five rebounds in 37 minutes.
With Klay Thompson a late scratch due to back soreness, Moses Moody stepped up off the bench, scoring 13 points and grabbing five rebounds in 26 minutes of action.
With a much-needed win over Oklahoma City, the Warriors jumped to the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference and are currently avoiding the play-in tournament.
