The Oklahoma City Thunder were 13.5-point underdogs to the Los Angeles Clippers. They lost by 14 — and missed a free throw on their last possession.
Talk about a bad beat.
The Oklahoma City Thunder entered the game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night as 13.5-point underdogs on BetMGM. Early, it looked like there was no chance they’d cover the spread, as they trailed by 18 at the end of the first quarter and as many as 27 in the second.
But late in that second quarter, they started rolling, and cut the lead to as little as 10 in the third quarter. Suddenly, bettors had interest.
Oklahoma City couldn’t get closer than 10, but with 25 seconds left, they trailed by 15. Wing Lu Dort got a defensive rebound and took the ball upcourt himself. He then drove and drew a foul on a layup attempt with 16.7 seconds to play.
Both free throws would cover the spread.
Bettors didn’t have to hold their breath for long. He missed the first before sinking the second.

That was the final real possession of the game, as the Clippers walked the ball up and ran out the clock on the next.
Dort finished with 19 points, so the missed free throw also cost him what would have been his third game in a row with 20 or more points.
Close, but not quite. If you bet on the Thunder this season, especially against a team like the Clippers, you know the risk you’re taking. There’s a reason they say the house always wins.
