Warriors vs. Thunder 2016 live stream: Time, TV schedule and how to watch Game 4 online
The Thunder look to take a commanding 3-1 series lead on the defending champions in the Western Conference Finals.
Golden State will have Draymond Green at its disposal after the NBA decided not to suspend Green for his kick to Steven Adams' groin in the second quarter of the Thunder's 133-105 Game 3 shellacking. Even so, Green's presence won't mean much if he's not significantly better in Game 4.
Not only was Green’s kick dubious, but he also suffered through one of his worst games in recent memory. He had six points and four turnovers while shooting just 1-of-9 from the field, and his defense wasn’t up to par as Oklahoma City overwhelmed Golden State with relentless attacking of the basket.
Russell Westbrook was the catalyst of the Thunder's high-powered show, recording 30 points, 12 assists and eight rebounds. Westbrook got out and ran at nearly every opportunity, helping Oklahoma City rack up 29 fast-break points.
Kevin Durant enjoyed a dominant performance as well by scoring 33 points on 10-of-15 shooting. Both Dion Waiters and Andre Roberson chipped in 13 points, with Roberson knocking down three three-pointers for the second time in the last four playoff games after never hitting three treys in an NBA game in his career.
The Warriors were in a similar situation twice last postseason, but these Thunder are a different beast than last year's Memphis Grizzlies and banged-up Cleveland Cavaliers. Green, Stephen Curry and Co. are going to have to dig deep to change their fortunes.
