Committing 22 turnovers, off which the Thunder scored 33 points, the Warriors split their four-game road trip and fell to 13-5 this season.
This was the first signature win of the season OKC.

Casspi’s line: 11 points (5-of-7 shooting, including 1-of-1 from deep) and six rebounds. He played 14 minutes and finished plus-5, one of two Warriors to finish in the plus column.
