Golden State Warriors Vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Live Stream: How To Watch Online
The most anticipated NBA game of the season so far will live stream to the United States and United Kingdom from Oklahoma City on Saturday, when the defending Western Conference champion Golden State Warriors storm into town to take on the Thunder. This game marks the first return of Oklahoma City legend Kevin Durant to the city he departed to join fellow superstar Stephen Curry on the league’s newest powerhouse team.
Durant’s return also means that he will be facing his former running partner and fellow superstar Russell Westbrook, who in Durant’s absence, now leads the NBA in scoring with 30.9 points per game.
Saturday’s showdown will be the third time that Durant and Westbrook have squared off this season. But the first two were both played at Oracle Arena, Golden State’s home court. On November 3, 2016, the Warriors trounced the visiting Thunder 122-96, with Westbrook held to 20 points while Durant abused his former teammates, pouring in 39.
The Warriors came out on top again on January 18, winning 121-100 this time, as Duramt outdid himself with 40 points. Westbrook tallied 27.

While Golden State is cruising at the top of the Western Conference for the third straight season, with a 44-8 record coming into Saturday’s game, Oklahoma City has struggled, despite Westbrook’s All-Star season. With a 31-23 mark, the Thunder hold the seventh playoff position in the conference, though with seven games separating the team from eighth-place Denver, Oklahoma City’s playoff spot does not appear to be at risk.
But the return of Durant is the factor causing the latest Warriors vs, Thunder matchup to be the most hotly-anticipated return of a superstar to his previous team since Lebron James returned with the Cleveland Cavaliers to Miami to face the Heat in 2014, after winning two championships in four seasons in South Beach.
