Russell Westbrook (right) listens to Kevin Durant after the Thunder beat the Warriors in Game 4 of the 2016 Western Conference Finals. The Golden State Warriors and Oklahoma City Thunder square off on Thursday night, with a Thunder team now inarguably led by point guard/rampaging beast Russell Westbrook entering Oracle Arena for its first-ever meeting with former franchise centerpiece Kevin Durant. It's the most highly anticipated game of the NBA season thus far, owing to the drama surrounding the summertime severing of the on-court partnership between Durant and Westbrook, who rose together from wide-eyed neophytes to become two of the NBA's most dominant presences, after KD decided to take his talents to the Bay.
