Golden State has now lost three in a row, and Curry is dealing with pain in both knees. Others failed to step up late on Wednesday night.

Meanwhile, the Warriors shot 36% from the field and went 16-of-50 (32%) from 3. They went 15-of-21 from the free-throw line. They had 25 assists on 35 baskets. Six Warriors players scored double-digit points amid Stephen Curry's absence.

The Warriors started the game with the kind of energy they’ve had in the past few games — not much. After Andrew Wiggins scored the team’s first nine points, they went on a four-minute dry spell. Oklahoma City ripped off runs of 12-0 and 10-2 as the Warriors couldn’t get stops and shot 31.8% from the field.
