The Golden State Warriors defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 127-116, securing their eighth win of the season with a dominant third-quarter surge.

The Warriors doubled up on the Thunder in the third, outscoring them 42-21 and building a lead that stretched to as many as 30 points, which ultimately proved crucial as they withstood a fierce OKC comeback in the fourth.

Steph Curry led Golden State with 36 points, including 25 in the second half, providing the spark needed to fend off the Thunder.

 


 

De’Anthony Melton added 19 points, while Andrew Wiggins contributed 18, as the Warriors improved to 8-2. With Phoenix’s loss to Sacramento, Golden State now shares the best record in the West in a three-way tie with the Thunder and Suns.

Oklahoma City made it interesting late, outscoring Golden State 37-20 in the fourth quarter, but the deficit was too large to overcome.

Six Thunder players scored in double figures, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leading the way with 24 points.

However, OKC’s efforts were dampened by an apparent hip injury to Chet Holmgren, who left the game early.
