OKC-GS Game 7: Who Wants it More?

Just a few days ago it looked like the Golden State Warriors were dead in the water. Down 3-1 in the Western Conference finals, Stephen Curry and company had their backs against the wall and were teetering on the brink of elimination. But thanks to a pair of huge victories over the Oklahoma City Thunder, things are evened up at three. Game 7 is set for Monday in Oakland.

Oracle Arena continues to cause grief for Thunder backers, as OKC is 1-7 ATS in its last eight trips there. The UNDER has also gone 5-1 in the last six meetings between the clubs in the Bay Area. Golden State has dropped just three games at Oracle all year long.

Only nine teams have ever come back from a 3-1 series deficit. A date with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers awaits the Sportsbook.

“I’ve learned that our players are tough, they’re mentally tough,” Coach of the Year Steve Kerr said on Sunday. The momentum is certainly in their favor, and considering what we’ve seen from the Warriors over the last few years, they haven’t given us any reason to count them out.
