The Warriors (11-11), already without Steph Curry, also lost Butler who was knocked out in the second quarter but still managed to make the reigning champions sweat before raising the white flag. The Thunder (21-1) reach +19 at the end of the first half but with the classic Warriors-style third quarter (44-28) the Californian team gets back on track and reaches +4 halfway through the fourth quarter. OKC, however, rolls up its sleeves, relies on the plays of the usual Gilgeous-Alexander (38 points) and with a run of 14-5 puts things back on track and then keeps Golden State at a safe distance in the final. Golden State: Podziemski 17 (3/6, 3/5, 2/3 TL), Spencer 17 (7/13, 1/1), Seth Curry 14. Rebounds: Green 9. Assists: Spencer 6.
Oklahoma City: Gilgeous-Alexander 38 (8/15, 5/6, 7/10 tl), Jal Williams 22, Holmgren 21.. Rebounds: Jay Williams 9. Assists: Jal. Williams 6.
