Warriors vs. Thunder 2016 live stream: Time, TV schedule and how to watch Game 3 online

The Warriors and Thunder will face off in Oklahoma City in a pivotal Game 3.

The Warriors righted the ship with a Game 2 win in Oakland before the series moved to Oklahoma City. Now they will look to beat the Thunder on Sunday to regain homecourt advantage and break the parity in the Western Conference finals.

The starting point guards have been huge so far for both teams. The Thunder shocked the world by becoming just the third team to get a win at Oracle Arena and the first in the postseason thanks to Russell Westbrook, who carried Oklahoma City during the second half comeback, scoring 24 points in the last two quarters. It was Stephen Curry's time to shine in Game 2, as the league's MVP came alive in the third quarter and with 17 points in the frame broke the parity and ensure the win for Golden State.

In that second matchup the Warriors found a few weaknesses they could exploit. They had Draymond Green play free safety instead of defend a non-shooting threat like Andre Roberson, which took away room for Kevin Durant and Westbrook to navigate in the half court. They also involved Oklahoma City's bigs in plays that would require them to switch, which eventually resulted in open looks for Curry. They will surely try to continue to exploit those flaws in Game 3, while the Thunder will be forced to adjust.

Starting Dion Waiters could be one way to do that, but it will mean having a mediocre defender on Klay Thompson. Roberson will simply have to be moving at all times and cut to the basket to make Green pay for leaving him open. As for the big men, Serge Ibaka will need to step up after a mediocre postseason. He has the quickness and length to stay with perimeter players. The problem has been his focus, which has wondered. The three-day rest before Game 3 should help him regain his edge while allowing Billy Donovan to think of other possible counters.

Warriors vs. Thunder has been as exciting as anticipated so far. After the first two games, now it’s time for the adjustments. The team that is able to adapt on the fly will likely emerge victorious.
