Golden State won and covered in Game 5, but it wasn't easy, and the Warriors appear to be a step slower than in the regular season. And they're facing an Oklahoma City team that is not only bigger, but has gained more confidence since beating San Antonio while playing its best basketball of the season. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook combined for 71 points on Thursday, but only two other Thunder players scored in double digits. Stephen Curry finished with 31 points and Klay Thompson added 27 points as the home crowd in Oracle Arena willed the Warriors to a win. Curry still doesn't appear to be 100 percent healthy with a sore knee. Golden State is 0-4 ATS its last four games after a win, and the Thunder is 6-1 ATS following a loss. Also, the Warriors now are 0-5-1 ATS their last six meetings in Oklahoma City. The Thunder has gone OVER the total seven of its last 10 games after a loss, and the Warriors have gone OVER four of their last five after an ATS win. Play the Thunder and also take the OVER.
