Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals between Oklahoma City Thunder and Golden State Warriors takes place Monday, May 16, 9PM EST at the Oracle Arena, this is the first of two-straight games to be played at the Warriors’ home before transitioning to Oklahoma City for games 3 and 4.

You can’t ask for a better matchup than Warriors vs. Thunder:

Both teams come in highly motivated, the Thunder, after impressively beating the Spurs, will now seek to get revenge over the regular season losses suffered against the Warriors, they want that title bad, and the chance to prove they not only belong in the final but also deserve the title, and with the involvement of talented key players Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, a strong defense, and a combined team effort they are going to give the Warriors a good run for the money.

The current title holders are not going to make it an easy task for OKC, their versatility and great shooters makes them the favorites to win, certainly MVP Stephen Curry, who is well recovered from his injury, and  Klay Thompson who is having a great momentum, are two of the weapons held by the Warriors.  Curry and his three pointers have given Oklahoma City a lot of trouble before. Warriors have averaged 114 points per game in the postseason; which leaves no doubt offensively they are the better team.

#WarriorsThunder is a match with star power and with a contrast of styles, with the Warriors having advantage on the outside while Oklahoma City’s strength is on the inside.
