Post game win stack party: Curry goes off for 38 points, 12 assists, 8 rebounds

Golden State blows out the Thunder, then holds off a mighty comeback effort to earn a needed road victory

The Golden State Warriors are starting to come together like Voltron! After spending much of the season looking a little too rudderless and out of sorts to contend for much, the Warriors are eyeballing these last games before the All-Star break as an opportunity to get right.

The Oklahoma Thunder are no pushovers, and they made Dub Nation sweat a bit in the fourth quarter. But then, the proven Warriors machine kept churning, drawing on all that historical inertia that provides such great quantities of comfort and urgency.

Draymond to a moving and cutting Klay when it looked like the offense was going nowhere. WHEW

These early games are tough. I caught some of the action early, and was putting the plates together during what was almost an epic comeback by Thunder. I’m biased, and was distracted, but it sure did feel like the ref whistles played a non-zero role in facilitating said comeback.

But this outcome is why I try not to get too bent out of shape about the referees. If you play well enough to win, the random weird call doesn’t really matter all that much. So thank you, Golden State, for sparing me the emotions here.

Warriors beat the Thunder in OKC to begin the road trip. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson combine for 66 points and 14 made 3s. Curry had 38 and eight 3s. Thompson had 28 and six 3s. They like this building. GSW record: 26-24. Up next: at Minnesota, at Denver back-to-back.

Good win!

The Warriors get one day off, and then a pretty tough back-to-back. But the puzzle is starting to come together. (you always start with the border, then it gets easier till the very end).

Today marks a critical point of the season for the Warriors - 14 of their next 18 games are against teams within 2 games of them in the West. The stage is set for them to prove they're serious contenders, and they should be able to win most of these games.

Let’s goooooooo!
