Oklahoma City Thunder Vs. Golden State Warriors Live Stream: Game 5 — 73-Win Warriors Face End Of The Line Down 3-1

The Golden State Warriors face a nightmare scenario in Game 5 of their NBA Western Conference Playoff series that will stream live against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday. After taking a second straight hammering from the Thunder on Tuesday — losing two straight games for the first time in the 2015-2016 season — back-to-back NBA MVP Stephen Curry finds his team trailing the series 3-1 heading back to Oracle Arena.

Oklahoma City already defeated Golden State on the Warriors’ home court in the opening game of the series. Now the Warriors must win Thursday’s home game or the season in which they set a new NBA record by winning 73 regular season games will come to a humiliating end, without even reaching the NBA Finals.

The defending NBA champions were long considered heavy favorites to repeat, just as Curry repeated as MVP. But as the Western Conference Final has progressed, the once unstoppable Warriors have shown signs of wearing down — or cracking under the pressure of expectations.

“We didn’t play very intelligently,” Coach Steve Kerr said after the Warriors absorbed a 118-94 loss in Game 4. “Way too many turnovers, careless passes. This is probably the longest team in the league that we’re facing, and we are continuing to try to throw passes over the top of their outstretched arms. It’s probably not a great idea.”

The Warriors turned the ball over 21 times on Tuesday. Curry himself was responsible for six of those gifts to the Thunder.

Can the Warriors somehow regroup? To see what the NBA TV panel thinks about the situation, watch the preview of the Warriors vs. Thunder Game 5 in the video below.

Highlights of the 24-point Thunder victory on Tuesday, putting the Oklahoma City Thunder up 3-1 in the series, can be viewed in the following video.

To find out how to watch a live stream of what could be a historic Game Five in the Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Golden State Warriors NBA Western Conference Finals Series, see the streaming links at the bottom of this article. Tipoff is set for 6 p.m. Pacific Time at Oracle Arena in Oakland, California, on Thursday, May 26 — 9 p.m. Eastern Time.

Of course, even if the Warriors win Thursday’s home game, they still face a daunting task, needing to go back to Oklahoma and win a game there — after losing Games 3 and 4 at Chesapeake Energy Arena by 28 and 24 points. And even a win there would still require a Game Seven victory, as well.

Only nine teams in NBA history have come back to win a seven-game series after falling behind 3-1, most recently last year when the Houston Rockets won the final three games of the Western Conference Semifinals, even after losing Games 3 and 4 by 25 and 33 points.
