Thunder lose JDub, survive Warriors comeback to stay atop West
OKC 105 GSW 101
After losing Jalen Williams for the second half to an eye injury (severity unknown), Oklahoma City saw a comfortable halftime lead evaporate. But Shai and the Thunder (14-4) hung on against the fellow injured-but-deep Warriors (12-6) despite some shaky execution to (barely) close out the final minutes.
Next up: Turkey on Thursday, a big NBA Cup game against the Lakers on Friday.
Not only is JDub still out but Isaiah Hartenstein has to sit early in the 3rd quarter with 4 fouls.

Up 19. Lose JDub before halftime. Hartenstein in foul trouble the whole 2nd half. Lose the lead. 4th quarter an offensive struggle.
But in the end, SGA hits a huge bucket and OKC tightens the defense to get a big win.
