<div class="heading">Oklahoma City vs. Golden State Game 2 Overview</div>
<p>The Golden State Warriors entered Game One with superfluous expectations cast upon them from various markets. The fact the Warriors had yet to lose one game in the playoffs at the Oracle Center, combined with their dominance of Houston and Portland without Steph Curry at 100% weighed heavily on the assessment of Game One. The question was not whether the Thunder could win or not, is it was how much would they lose by?
</p>
<p>The Thunder answered that question with an exclamation point. The Thunder went blow for blow with the Warriors and simply outscored them. Defense was not a factor, it was simply a question of whether Durant and Westbrook could score more than Curry and Thompson and the first duel went to the guns of Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma City Thunder at Golden State Warriors Pick
As we have vehemently pushed previously when you get Golden State at home, you are likely to incur a heavy premium. This narrative crushed many bankrolls in Game One, as we saw resounding action from the public on the Warriors outright when they fell to the Thunder in spectacular fashion. After Game One, the public sees the Game One result fostered by the Thunder as a one-off. However, the Thunder pulled off what no other team has done all year, and that is come from behind in the second half against Golden State when the Warriors were holding a thirteen-point lead. If this feat seemed unfathomable by itself, doing so at a place where the Warriors have lost just twice all year and had yet to lose in the playoffs, makes this spectacle titanic. This has been the motif of OKC over the course of the playoffs, winning games they are expected to lose and doing so with style. As long as the public continues to dine on these inflated lines and overlook an undervalued opponent, we will always opt in. This situation, in particular, opens the door for a "best bet" scenario; and while we are at it, we will lay the points on the over and take the under as well, be that Game One's total was nowhere near this offering.
Free Pick:
Oklahoma City +8.5 and Under 222
