The Oklahoma City Thunder appear bloodied but unbowed entering their critical Game 3 Western Conference showdown against the Golden State Warriors.

Indeed, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and the Thunder seem as confident as any team can be coming off a 118-91, 27-point blowout drubbing at the hands of the defending champs.

Thunder Hoping Home Court Edge Makes the Difference

Truth is, the Thunder will need all the focus and resolve they displayed in the days after Game 2 to tilt things back in their favor come Sunday night's 8 p.m. ET tip-off at Chesapeake Energy Arena on TNT. Watch live stream here.

Oklahoma City's best laid plans start and end with getting more consistent help for their superstar tandem of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.

After averaging 14 points over the Thunder's first eight playoff games, Serge Ibaka is averaging just seven points over the first two games against the Warriors and the big-man tandem of Steven Adams and Enes Kanter finished with just 15 points and 11 rebounds combined in Game 2 after controlling the interior in Game 1.

For the Warriors, everything remains about Steph Curry, who rebounded from his pedestrian Game 1 showing to net 28 points and three rebounds in Game 2, including a 17-point third quarter flurry that put Golden State in cruise control.

With that, the Warriors are now 12-0 after losses this season and, even more importantly, are convinced they now have the Thunder totally figured out.

The Warriors blitzed OKC 61-42 over the second half with all-purpose forward Draymond Green seemingly at the center of every key play.

Adams, Green Matchup Getting Interesting

"He's peaked with annoyingness," Adams said of the All-Star forward whose every goal is to be that very nuisance.

If the Warriors have their way, the Thunder can expect more of the same in Game 3, and with so much on the line the Warriors wouldn't have it any other way.
