(NBA) Oklahoma City vs. Golden State, 05/16/2016 5:00 PM, Score: 108 - 102
Point Spread: -7.50 | -101.00 Golden State (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a Free #NBA play on the Golden State #Warriors.

The Oklahoma City Thunder shocked everyone with a stunning upset win in their second round series versus San Antonio. As impressive as they have looked, I still think they're going to be in way over their heads in the Western Conference Final. The Warriors had some ups and downs in their series versus Portland, but in the end they were able to overcome slow starts, closing out the Blazers in five games.

Steph Curry returned to action in Game 4, and he scored 40 points (a record 17 in overtime) en route to a 132-125 victory. He made his first three-pointer in the third quarter, and he did the bulk of his scoring after that. The Warriors are looking for a second consecutive title after finishing with the best all time record in the NBA this season. They were expected to beat Portland, so there's no reason to expect a let down. That's not the case for the Thunder, who came out flat in Game 1 against the Spurs losing 124-92.

The Thunder lost both meetings at Golden State during the regular season by a combined 22 points. They are likely to struggle here in Game 1.

Take GS.
