I choose beating Utah by 45 points at their place.

OKC game for sure. I generally don't download archived games (at least the past couple years), and this was the first game in a LONG time where I actually downloaded the entire 4th quarter..

I don't remember which GSW game it was, but we barely eked out the win, and the game was played as such a ridiculous high pace for the first 3 quarters that I could barely tell what was even happening. Among the most insane basketball I've ever seen.

It may or may not be one of the two GSW games listed, I'm guessing the 140-104 one.
Morey 2020.

Well if we barely eked out the win it wasn't the 140-109 game

Actually, I'm pretty sure it was that one. I also seem to recall wondering how we were even in the game, then suddenly we creamed them.
The eking part might have been residual impression from the first 3 quarters.

Gonna put my vote there.

I don't think it was that one? We were up 15 at halftime...the game was only close in the first quarter (where scored 38 points). The game on the road v. the Warriors was a game we barely eked out and had moments where it was remarkable we were even in the game...but that game wasn't fast paced. IIRC, that game was a brick-fest with Harden getting some calls down the stretch for a win. Actually, the FIRST game @ Oakland kind of fits your description the best...close game till we got a run in the third to win that one. Parsons, IIRC had a near triple double in that game..

I'll just stick with calling it "that game I was thinking of that I don't know which one it was".

If only we could have somehow faced Golden State or Utah in the playoffs.
