• Westbrook signed a three-year, $85 million extension after Durant’s departure and he has embraced the opportunity to finally be viewed as the face of a franchise.

• The Warriors won all three regular-season meetings last season.

• Oklahoma City SG Victor Oladipo was 3-of-11 shooting against the Clippers and is shooting just 32.8 percent from the field.

• Golden State PG Stephen Curry has 28 points in Tuesday’s 127-104 trouncing of Portland and is averaging 26.3 points.
