Match preview

The Golden State Warriors and Oklahoma City Thunder will duke it out in Game 7 of this incredible Western Conference Finals. Join The Roar for the live scores and blog from 11am (AEST).

Game 6 was an NBA Classic, and one that could live on in Oklahoma history if they’re unable to win today.

(Read up on what happened in Game 6, thanks to Scott Pryde, here.)

But we’re here to talk about what could happen in the next couple of hours.

The Warriors have pulled off a remarkable comeback after falling behind 1-3, and now they hold the momentum.

Oklahoma fell apart down the stretch and after taking such a psychological blow, can they put that in the back of their minds and bounce back?

The Thunder went away from everything that has worked for them in this series and played like the Oklahoma of old. In order to beat a team as tough as the Warriors you need to have faith in one another, and the Thunder won’t be able to advance any further if their superstars can’t trust the rest of the roster.

While the heavy lifting will need to be done by Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, they’ll be looking for big games out of Dion Waiters, Serge Ibaka and Enes Kanter. If those three can come to the party, along with big games from KD and Russ, Oklahoma will book themselves a ticket to the NBA Finals.

The Warriors need to continue their recent form, behind the stellar shooting of Klay Thompson and closing ability of Steph Curry.

With the NBA history books waiting for the Warriors to be penciled in as only the tenth team to come back from a 1-3 hole, it’ll take everything they’ve got to get beyond this Thunder side.

Prediction
This’ll be an all-time classic, one that will be replayed for years to come.

The Thunder will want to shut out the noise early and get the Warriors out of their rhythm. With history on the line and the home crowd making more noise than a Rolling Stones concert, the Warriors will get the job done.

Golden State (just) 101-99.
