The call ended in controversy as an offensive goaltend was reversed to a Golden State bucket that decided the game.

Meanwhile, the Warriors had Steph Curry 30 points on 9-of-15 shooting and seven assists. Klay Thompson scored 18 points on 4-of-6 shooting from 3.

Let’s look at some of the best photos from the Thunder’s one-point loss over the Warriors.
