Golden State Warriors' impressive win gives hint of what could be

This was one of those games that, for Warriors fans, brings as much frustration as it does excitement.

Golden State knocked off one of the best teams in the Western Conference on Sunday, topping Oklahoma City 100-94 at Oracle Arena. The Warriors did it by controlling the boards. They did it with dominant guard play. They did it by playing solid defense.

But Sunday's victory could make one wonder: Why can't the Warriors play like that every game?

"We're a good team," point guard Stephen Curry said. "We just have some slip-ups where we don't perform as well."

The same Warriors who have beaten Utah twice, Chicago and now Oklahoma City, have also lost to losing teams like Charlotte and Houston at home. Just last week, Golden State lost twice to Phoenix, a team that has been at or below .500 most of the season.

A game like Sunday's can make you wonder how.
