The Golden State Warriors fell to another defeat against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday (Dec. 8.) Steve Kerr‘s team gave the ball away 28 times, and also committed 28 fouls throughout the contest, giving the Thunder plenty of opportunity to take control of the game. The loss is another in a long line of missed opportunities.
Throughout the first quarter of the new season, the Warriors have struggled to string wins together, and are currently in a cycle of losing from winning positions, despite having a highly talented roster. Still, there is more than enough time for the coaching staff to help right the ship, and for Golden State to claw their way back into playoff contention.
The Warriors’ next game is scheduled for Tuesday (Dec. 12) when they will face the Phoenix Suns. However, before we begin to focus on another game against Kevin Durant, it’s good to take stock of who performed well in the last game. Here are the top three statistical performers from the Warriors loss to the Thunder.
Steph Curry
Statline: 34 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 10-of-20 FG, 6-of-12 3PT.
Dario Saric
Statline: 11 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 3-of-8 FG, 2-of-6 3PT
Draymond Green
Statline: 12 points, 13 assists, 5 rebounds, 1 block, 5-of-7 FG, 1-of-2 3PT.
