The Golden State Warriors beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 141-114 at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California, on Monday, securing their second straight win.

The Warriors' ace Stephen Curry will be sidelined for at least a month after he was diagnosed with partial tears to his superior tibiofibular ligaments and interosseous membrane in addition to a contusion to his lower leg. The team had been 7-8 without him this season before Monday, thus worrying people about their performance in the following games.

Klay Thompson relieved the Warriors of those worries on Monday night by shooting 12-for-16 from downtown to score 42 points. It is the eighth time for him draining 10 or more 3-pointers in one game in his career, the second-most in NBA history, behind only Curry's 22.

Today's Thunder are the youngest team in the league with an average age of 23.14 years old. None of their players were with the team during the 2015-16 season. The Thunder and the Warriors met in the Western Conference Finals that season. In Game 6 of that series, Thompson made 11 triples for the Warriors to win 108-101 and tie the series 3-3.

While Thompson shot to kill from the perimeter, Jordan Poole made surprisingly good orchestrating contribution to the Warriors' comeback victory at home. He delivered 12 assists with only four turnovers and added five triples and 21 points to the team's total scoring. The Warriors overall shot 26-for-50 behind the arc to give the Thunder their worst loss this season.

The efficient and productive scoring performance was not the only reason behind the Warriors' big win on Monday. Andrew Wiggins and Draymond Green shut down the Thunder's offense that could generate the 117.3 points per game, the fifth-most this season. Green had nine defensive rebounds, three steals and two blocks in addition to many ball-pressuring acts and passing, shooting deflections that made it difficult for the opponents to drive their sixth-fastest pace in today's NBA.

Wiggins is not an omnipresent defender like Green, but his containing of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA) was integral to the Warriors win at home. SGA, who had averaged 31 points, the fourth-most in the league, missed 10 of his 16 field goals (FGs), mostly in the middle range.

As a 1.98-meter-tall guard, SGA has remarkable dribbling skills and excellent control of his pace and body, which makes him unstoppable in penetration. However, he doesn't have the weapon that Wiggins dreads the most: speed. Wiggins can cover SGA with his 2.01-meter height while being able to deflect most of SGA's shots thanks to his 2.13-meter wingspan.

This was only the fifth time SGA failed to surpass 20 points this season.

In the fourth quarter that decided the final result, Leonard had nine points and four assists to keep the Clippers rolling.

Despite the loss, the Nets should be glad to see the work done by Cam Thomas.
