OKC dominated the Warriors in game 3 to take a 2-1 series lead, winning at home by 28pts after losing their previous game by 27pts. OKC finished the 1st half 72-47, after ending the half on a 24-7 run. OKC's 72pts in a half is the most against the Warriors this season, and is the most in OKC's playoff history. OKC continued their onslaught in the 3rd quarter, hitting 17-of-22 fgs to score 45pts in the quarter. Durant and Westbrook only played the first 3 quarters, but combined for 63pts, 16reb, 14asts on 20-of-34 fgs. Durant had 33pts and Westbrook nearly had a triple double with 30pts, 8reb, 12asts, as they outscored the Warrior's starters 63-57. The Warriors trailed by as many as 41pts, as OKC went on to total a franchise playoff record 133 points, and also outrebounded the Warriors 52-38. Curry had 24pts and Thompson 18pts with no other Warriors player in double figures. The Thunder have now won 6 of their last 8 games coming against both the Spurs and Warriors - the 2 teams with the best regular season records. Game 4 will be played in Oklahoma City, where the Warriors will try to avoid losing back-to-back games, something they haven't done all season.
