The Golden State Warriors utterly waxed the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday by a final score of 147 -109. In the game, the Warriors tied a franchise record with 24 three-pointers, which is even more impressive considering that the second splash brother Klay Thompson hasn't played a single minute this season due to injury.

Every player on the Warriors that played at least 15 minutes finished the game with an on/off rating in the double digits, including lofty totals for Andrew Wiggins (+33), Draymond Green (+33) and MVP candidate Stephen Curry (+31).
Unsurprisingly, it was Curry that buoyed his team’s three-point shooting success more than anyone else, as he continued his shooting hot streak with a staggering performance from beyond the arc: 11 of 16 – meaning he only needed 20 shots to hit his 42-point threshold.

Beyond Curry, Kent Bazemore, Jordan Poole and Damion Lee each finished with three made triples, and then Andrew Wiggins, Juan Toscana-Anderson, Mychal Mulder and Gary Payton II all finished with one triple each.
While Draymond didn’t add to the three-point shooting barrage (missing his only two attempts), this was a truly vintage performance from the talented big man, as he piled up the counting stats to the tune of a triple-double: 12 points, 16 assists and 10 rebounds as well as 3 steals and 2 blocks in only 30 minutes of action.
The Warriors also managed a 50-point quarter in the third, marking the sixth time in franchise history Golden State has amassed a 50-spot in a single frame.
Golden State's 50-point third quarter is the team's sixth-ever 50-point quarter (third time in the third quarter). The Warriors last accomplished the feat on Jan. 15, 2019 at Denver (51 points in the first frame).
