Match Review
Klay Thompson missed the game with a sore lower back, and Kerr fielded a set of starters that had never been used before, leaving Poole, Kuminga and Lamb to partner Kuchai, with DiVincenzo and Looney on the bench. After the opening, both sides played fast, and in the high-speed transition, the Thunder obviously had more tacit understanding between the players and found their hands faster, and all five starters scored, including two rookie Williams in the front court, who hit three-pointers one after another, and quickly stopped the Warriors 17-9.
After the timeout, Kerr replaced Looney and DiVincenzo, and the effect was immediate, the latter with two three-pointers to stabilize the team, and Curry finally opened the scoring from outside the three-point line.

Curry took a short break and Poole scored consecutive points to further help the team complete the comeback.

At key moments, the Thunder relied on Alexander to chase points, but the Warriors were already in rhythm, and DiVincenzo's breakthrough, Payton's basket, and Poole's free throws kept the team with a safe lead. In the final 3 minutes of the game, Poole hit a three-point counterattack and scored five straight points to stretch the score to 133-120, and the Thunder immediately withdrew the main team and threw in the line.
