The Oklahoma City Thunder enjoyed a stress-free 131-94 win over the Golden State Warriors on Friday. The talent discrepancy was too much to overcome as the reigning NBA champions led by as many as an unreal 41 points.

The OKC Thunder will face the Golden State Warriors on the road at 9 p.m. CST Friday. OKC (29-5) cruised to a 124-95 home win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Isaiah Hartenstein is out Friday due to a right soleus strain.

After the Warriors cut it to a single-digit deficit, the Thunder went on a game-sealing 19-0 run in the second frame. Chet Holmgren took over on both ends. Golden State's role players were uncomfortable when they drove against him. And they were uncomfortable when he was a second-chance magnet.

The Warriors were without six players, including Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green in the game. The Thunder were without five, including Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams; Cason Wallace exited the game in the first half due to injury. Here are three takeaways from OKC's dominant performance.

Agent Rich Paul made it clear this week that there is no path toward a potential trade of his client, LeBron James, from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Golden State Warriors.
