A deep rewind of a regular season game? Have we run out of ideas? Nope, don’t worry, it’s just that this regular season game simply ruled. With Kevin Durant’s free agency looming, the OKC Thunder were more or less desperate to prove they were title threats ASAP. And the Thunder were doing pretty well, at the time of this game, late February, they were the best rebounding team in the league and the second highest scoring team in the league. Who was the highest scoring team? You’re really gonna make me answer that? Fine, it was the Warriors. The very team that was reportedly the top contender to land Durant if he left OKC in free agency. In the 2016 season, the reigning champion Golden State Warriors were on a tear better than all other tears before it. They were 52-5 in late Feb. So yeah, it’s a regular season game, but there are stakes involved. For the Thunder, a win would make them a title threat and could go a long way in convincing KD to stay. For the Warriors, a win would suggest they don’t have any real competition in this league. An overtime war that came down to the last seconds. Welcome to a moment in history.
