The Oklahoma City Thunder skeleton crew pulled out an ugly win against the husk of the Golden State Warriors. Shai (27 & 5) led OKC on another group injury night we've grown accustomed to: Chet Holmgren (sick), Isaiah Hartenstein (calf bruise), and Alex Caruso (hip bruise) joined long-haulers Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell in street clothes, and the Warriors were down Steph Curry, Moses Moody, and De'Anthony Melton on top of Jimmy Butler.
Nuggets & Notes
- We had ourselves a tale of two halves. OKC splashed 11 of 20 in the first half, with each of the non-Shai starters (Isaiah Joe, Lu Dort, Jaylin Williams, Cason Wallace) cashing one in before the halfway mark in the first quarter.
