Golden State and Oklahoma City are the two highest scoring teams in the NBA. But to reach this high of a total both have to be on their games. That hasn't happened yet in this Western Conference Finals. Through the first three games of the series, the losing team has averaged 99.3 points.

Oklahoma City is coming off a 133-105 burial of the Warriors. Now it's up to the Warriors to make the proper adjustments. I see Steve Kerr doing that by limiting the Thunder in transition. Perhaps no player is more lethal on the fast break than Russell Westbrook. The Warriors have the flexibility and talent to also be effective in a half court game. That means a slower tempo.

I fully anticipate - and expect - an intense, gut-check defensive effort from the Warriors. The under has cashed 12 of the last 17 times the Warriors gave up triple digits in their last game and has cashed six of the past seven times Golden State has surrendered 125 points or more in its previous game.
