Again this would be a different story if it were the playoffs now as teams will be more competitive and defensive on the end.
I can't argue with it, it's a series so adjustment happens throughout the series.
In the playoffs, they might play an individual game as they have the best ball hogger in the NBA, you know what I mean, Harden and Westbrook combine.
But then again, this still depends on how the coach would make a plan and for them to follow, now there is no warriors where they got defeated 2 times in the playoffs series, but they'll face the Lakers and the Clippers which are currently the favorites in the west.
