For both of Oklahoma City Thunder and Golden State Warriors, today’s encounter could end up begin a defining moment. Languishing in the trenches of the Western Conference, this is an encounter which comes bearing for either side hefty and colossal consequences as either unit looks to use it as a means to shrug out of the ordeal they find themselves embroiled in.
For Golden State Warriors in particular, a defeat in this match as well could end up being irreparable. From being the most dominant side in the league over the past couple of years to now finding themselves nailed down in last place in the conference, the fall from glory has been a calamitous and contentious one.
Althouhg injuries have played a major role in the side’s horrendous decline and slump with the long spate of injuries the side are riddled by rendering redundant and obsolete the services of their star performers, the brand of basketball they have doled out has still made for a stinker of a viewing. There’s been a clear lack of fight from their players with the side’s aspirations of challenging for the division or conference title already vanishing up in smoke with the side falling to 14 defeats in 17 matches.
Elsewhere in 13th place with a 5-10 record, things haven’t been any better for Oklahoma City Thunder either with the side coming into this one with a spree of three defeats. Althouhg they did manage to push Los Angeles Lakers close the last time around, the 130-127 was a damaging one but the perseverance and fortitude displayed in that contest will buy them ahead of this encounter.

From Oklahoma City Thunder we have the one player come in as well for us in the form of Danilo Gallinari. The reason his side were able to make things nervy for Los Angeles Lakers the last time around was his ability to maraud inside the circle and pull off rebounds and deflection at will to ensure his side’s attacking plays were converted into points.
