The Oklahoma City Thunder clinched an important season series and tiebreaker with a 129-107 win over the LA Clippers.
Both teams should battle the rest of the season in the standings, which means OKC now has the tiebreak in its back pocket if necessary.
After playing it close for the first half, the Thunder’s 35-point third quarter created a double-digit lead that never dwindled. The Clippers waved the white flag with a little under four minutes left in regulation.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way with 31 points and eight assists. Jalen Williams totaled 18 points, including 12 in the fourth quarter to close it out.
Meanwhile, Kawhi Leonard was limited to 20 points. Paul George struggled with 14 points on 16 shots, and James Harden had a quiet 17 points.
