Golden State missed Steph Curry and it proved costly for them

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander delivered another stellar performance with 35 points, leading the Oklahoma City Thunder to a hard-fought 105-101 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night. The Thunder extended their winning streak to three games, improving to 14-4 on the season.

Andrew Wiggins hit a clutch three-pointer with 11 seconds left to cut Oklahoma City’s lead to one. However, after Gilgeous-Alexander missed a free throw, Luguentz Dort came up with a crucial block on Wiggins’ potential game-tying layup, sealing the win for the Thunder.

Gilgeous-Alexander followed his 37-point showing against Sacramento earlier in the week with another impressive display, shooting 13 of 28 from the field. Jonathan Kuminga, back in the Warriors’ starting lineup after a two-game absence due to illness, scored a team-high 19 points for Golden State, who dropped to 12-6. The Warriors were without Stephen Curry, sidelined by pain in both knees.

Thunder forward Jalen Williams exited late in the first half with a right eye injury after Kuminga dunked over him. Williams did not return to the game and was seen with an ice bag on his eye during halftime. Despite his absence, Oklahoma City held off a late Warriors push to secure the victory.
