The meaning is important to the Warriors too, going for the home record and all, but I think that a team that has only lost by 8 and 3 to this team, with a 3rd chance, after blowing a large lead at home, give us some value with the points. Just one unit so nothing crazy -- 16-3 last 19 plays after my last bet lost with the Bulls sucking in Miami. Anyhow this is a classic play against perception in the NBA. Team with their back against the world and expectations against them surprises and shows they still got something special in them. We'll see if the Thunder are indeed a tough match-up for the Warriors or if they have nothing left this season after tonight IMO.
