Two days later, the thunder ushered in the first game after Robertson's absence. They meet the visiting Golden State Warriors at home.

It's another battle of focus that the league is watching. For a long time, warriors and thunder have been regarded as the two teams most likely to make it to the Western Conference finals this season.

However, both teams have suffered from injuries recently. There's a Robertson missing from the thunder; Kevin Durant is missing from the game because of injury. And before that, Durant had a break. It's worth mentioning that every time a warrior comes to Oklahoma, Durant is the center of the topic. Where he started his career, he left too much gratitude and resentment. But since Durant and green had a bad time this season, Oklahoma people who once scolded Durant gave him the greatest support. After Robertson was injured, Durant was the first superstar to say his prayers.

This time, Durant, though unable to play, came with the team to the Chesapeake energy arena to watch the game. When the director's lens hit him in the face intentionally or unintentionally, Durant finally heard the applause from Oklahoma. Although scattered, it was already very valuable.

In this game, the warriors performed very well.

Cousins has become the warriors' most important reinforcement of the season, and after a period of repetition, he has been in great shape recently. The warriors are honing the fighting power of their luxury lineup. There is no doubt that once they enter the playoffs, they will be in the best shape.

Although the lack of Durant, but the warriors and thunder in this game, the team played well, curry and Thompson soon after the start of a three-point hit. They also gave awesome defense, which brought great trouble to the thunder. In the first five minutes of the game, the thunder team in addition to Anluo shot a three-point, only Adams to receive Westbrook's pass to score a goal. They were hit by the warriors a wave of 16:5 attack climax. After that, thunder fell into a long pursuit of points.

As Paul George's hand warmed up, the thunder played a very good offensive rhythm in the second quarter. But their defense did have a lot of problems, almost can not limit the warriors' cross cutting cooperation and continuous pick and roll cover. Grant didn't get used to playing around the big three. It's not the first time he's been promoted to the starting lineup, but this time, maybe it's the thunder that has given him too much work.

At the end of the first half, the thunder was still 11 points behind the warriors. The gap was once widened to as much as 20 points by the warriors, but it was shortened again with the output of ANLO and Paul George. But they can only do this!

In the second half, the feeling of warriors began to decline. Thunder finally seized the opportunity to pull the score even. However, Cole's timely suspension interrupted the thunder offensive. After pausing to return, curry faced Westbrook with a super long three-point hit to announce his return. As the thunder in the second half of the shooting rate increased a lot, the two sides have been deadlocked until the second half of the last quarter.

The turning point of the game was a conflict. Westbrook in the counterattack, easily broke through the warriors have not yet formed the defense line, killed to the basket to meet green to run up to dunk. Green of course does not want to be the other side Yan buckle, a word is a slap, two people with the ball pressed down. Naturally, it was a foul that shouldn't have been. Westbrook got up and grabbed Green's shirt, and then the two began to spray against each other. The good news is that both of them are in a very hot mood, but they are not doing anything. Finally, a person ate a technical foul, so that this time the conflict subsided.

After that, thunder's hit rate plummeted. Westbrook, in particular, hasn't had one since. Although he tried to strike iron a few times, he stopped. But the situation of the game has tilted in the direction of the thunder.

In the end, thunder lost the game. This is the first time thunder lost to warriors this season, and there is no Durant warriors. Although the thunder overall performance is very poor, but still can see that the collapse of the defense system, gave the warriors too many opportunities. ANLO, Westbrook, Paul George's defense is not weak, but the lack of a core axis. This can be seen from the antithesis between Thompson and anlow. Thompson scored only six points when playing one-on-one with ANLO. But when the rest of the warriors took part in the attack, Thompson's score increased very quickly.

This kind of thing, happened again in the thunder and heat match.

On March 18, thunder met the heat at home. First in the West vs. eighth in the East, thunder is a big winner. But the heat, which hovers on the edge of the playoffs, has been extremely effective. Wade, in particular, is more efficient than all the players on the field. That hot state, not like a person who will retire after this season.

Westbrook was automatically banned. The last technical foul he received was the 16th of the season. As a result, he can only sit on the sidelines.

Without the attack engine of Westbrook, the thunder fell into the cycling singles between ANLO and Paul George. Of course, the brothers are in good condition. At the beginning of the game, they played a 15-0 offensive climax. Five minutes before the first quarter, the heat didn't get any. It wasn't until Wade and Dragic on the bench that changed. By the end of the first half, the heat went 56-59.In the third quarter, the heat maintained its momentum. Wade and Dragic, the heat's backcourt double guns of a few years ago, stood up from the bench and used their breakthrough and three-point to help the heat beat the score bit by bit while the shooting percentage of the thunder side decreased. By the end of the third quarter, the heat were 11 points ahead of the thunder.

In the last quarter, thunder played a very tenacious counterattack. With one minute and 52 seconds left, ANLO hit three points to make it 107-110. But after that, Wade got rid of ANLO under the cover of his teammates and got to the basket to lay up. Then, Paul George caught the ball in the right corner and made a mistake on the line, so that the thunder lost another chance to close the score. The heat extended the score to seven points.

In the end, thunder lost the game. They were defeated by two veterans on the bench!

After this game, thunder's record in March was 6-5. This is the first time that thunder has encountered such a situation, and it is also the first time that thunder has lost three consecutive times.
