Player grades: Lu Dort, Aleksej Pokusevski turn in best performances in 118-110 win over Clippers

The Thunder (2-3) and Clippers (2-3) now have the same record early on in the season.

The Oklahoma City Thunder were able to sweep the LA Clippers in a two-game stand on Thursday with a 118-110 win.

The trio of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Lu Dort and Tre Mann led the way for the Thunder. The trio combined for 59 of the team’s 118 points.

For the Clippers, the return of Paul George was not enough to avenge their previous loss to the Thunder as he finished with just 10 points on 4-of-12 shooting.

The Thunder were also able to win despite not attempting a single free throw until the fourth quarter — something that’s never happened in franchise history. In the end, the Clippers attempted 10 more free throws tonight as the referees allowed the teams to play against each other.

The Thunder were able to win this game with an advantage in shot attempts once again as they outshot the Clippers by 13 more attempts.

A great night from outside helped push the Thunder to their second win of the season as they shot 17-of-38 (44.7 percent) from deep.

Let’s take a look at four Thunder player grades.
