Young's three capped off a 14-0 Warriors run that spanned the final 3:29 of the third quarter and helped Golden State capture a 112-80 win.
Young finished the night with 16 points (5-of-10 shooting) off the bench while Westbrook posted 15 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists in 32 minutes.
Despite the loss, the Thunder still own a 2-1 season-series lead over the Warriors.
The teams will meet for a fourth and final time April 3 at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
