The Oklahoma City Thunder will face the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night in a game that will feature two of the NBA’s most entertaining offenses.

The Warriors, who clinched a playoff spot against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night, are 7-3 over their last 10 games. The Thunder are also 7-3 over their last 10 games, and both teams are locked in close battles despite clinching playoff berths.

Golden State sits only one game ahead of the Houston Rockets for the sixth seed, a spot that they want to keep. Oklahoma City is tied for the best record in the Western Conference with the San Antonio Spurs.

The Thunder have been playing some excellent defense lately, holding opponents to fewer than 90 points per game over their last six contests.
