Warriors 98 Thunder 70 after 3 #News9Thunder

I project a lot of backups on the court in the 4th, not what TNT wanted. #News9Thunder

It only counts as one loss right? #News9Thunder

Without a doubt the Warriors crowd is one of the loudest in NBA, they hinge on every shot. #News9Thunder

Warriors up 68-43 at break, KD has too many points to count. #News9Thunder

I thought Russ was going to lose his cool there.

Ugly 2nd quarter, Durant is playing inspired, this crowd is playoff loud. #News9Thunder

— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) November 4, 2016

So glad Durant saved this performance and didn't waste it on silly old Game 7. # Thunder

Abrines-pair of misses, Kanter passes into crowd, iffy start in the 2nd. OKC down 41-34 #News9Thunder

— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) November 4, 2016

Thunder 32 Warriors 31 after one,if GS didn't have KD, they would be down double digits, KD has 13 #News9Thunder

KD trash talking a youngster like Grant.... so un-Thunder-like. It was time for you to leave Grasshopper. #Thunder

— Kelly (@kellyogle) November 4, 2016

This game will be worth staying up, more coffee, turn up the AC, whatever it takes to stay awake. #News9Thunder

— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) November 4, 2016

Thunder hanging on by four, keep pounding it inside. #News9Thunder

— Steve McGehee (@SteveMcGehee) November 4, 2016

Quite a start, Steve Kerr was on fire, Thunder up 15-7 #News9Thunder

I wonder if KD likes Oakland traffic, because I sure don't #News9Thunder pic.twitter.com/Tckrx6lw2v

What stinks? OKC has to play the Warriors on a back-to-back, happened twice last year in Oakland #News9Thunder
