Breaking: Thunder Dominate Warriors 131–94 — Full Game Stats, Highlights & Updates

The Oklahoma City Thunder absolutely crushed the Golden State Warriors on Friday night in San Francisco. This wasn’t a tight game — it was a statement win by OKC, led by a balanced attack and a depleted Warriors roster.

Final Score

• 🏀 Oklahoma City Thunder: 131
• 🏀 Golden State Warriors: 94
  — Thunder put up a 37-point blowout at the Chase Center.

What Changed the Game

Steph Curry Did NOT Play

As suspected and reported earlier, Stephen Curry was ruled out due to a sprained left ankle, and he did not suit up — significantly hurting Golden State’s scoring punch.

Warriors also missed:

• Jimmy Butler – illness
• Draymond Green – rest
• De’Anthony Melton – knee management
• Jonathan Kuminga – lower back soreness (questionable/off)

This left Golden State thin and overmatched against OKC’s full squad.

Thunder Stars — Stats That Matter

Oklahoma City was firing on all cylinders, with multiple players contributing strong box score lines:

• Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the charge with 30 points — efficient and aggressive throughout.
• Chet Holmgren posted a double-double (15/15), showcasing his two-way impact.

Team Stats (Thunder vs Warriors):

• Thunder shot 51% FG, Warriors 31%
• OKC hit 42% from three, GSW only 28%
• Thunder grabbed 42 rebounds vs Warriors’ 32

This was full control — no late-game comeback magic for Golden State.

Warriors Performance (Without Curry)

With Curry out, the Warriors struggled to generate offense and spacing:

No Warrior scored more than 13 points.

Shooting was dismal — GSW shot 29.5% from downtown and couldn’t close the gap.

Injury Report & Roster Impact

Golden State’s injury list was heavy:

• Stephen Curry – Out
• Draymond Green – Out
• Jimmy Butler – Out
• De’Anthony Melton – Out
• Jonathan Kuminga – Out
  (bench depth took a massive hit)

This fundamentally changed the matchup dynamics — OKC had a huge advantage from the tip.

What This Means for the Warriors

This loss exposes weaknesses when core scorers are unavailable:

• Offensive spacing collapses without Curry
• Bench scoring isn’t consistent
• Defensive rotations struggled late
  Golden State now sits 18–17 on the season and will need to regroup quickly.
