The Oklahoma City Thunder will put their improved play to the test when they tip off a three-game California swing against the host Golden State Warriors on Saturday night. After opening the season with 21- and 33-point drubbings on the road against the Utah Jazz and Houston Rockets, respectively, the Thunder got progressively better during a three-game homestand, losing by 12 to the Philadelphia 76ers and eight to the Warriors before shocking the Los Angeles Lakers 123-115 on Wednesday night. The Thunder will see the Lakers again at the end of this trip during a two-game stop in Los Angeles, where they also will tackle the Los Angeles Clippers.
