The free throw stats are exposing another weakness of the Warriors style of play, jump shots from long range don't draw as many fouls as when you're barreling your way to the rim with no regard to human life.

The Thunder shot 37 free throws as opposed to the Warriors who attempted 25. The aggressiveness of the Thunder is giving the Warriors fits. And it is led by their superstars.

Superstars make the difference in the NBA. For the Warriors, Curry has been looking like a mere mortal. On the other side, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook have been tenacious on both ends in harassing the Warriors.

In Game 1 both Westbrook and Durant scored over 25 points. Meanwhile, Game 3 saw them both score above 30. Game 4 again saw Westbrook power his way to 36 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists, as Durant added 26 points with 11 boards of his own.

While the two of them wreck havoc, and the supporting cast does its bit, the Thunder are not impossible to beat. And that is proving to be the case here.
