Unintentional weather cliche!
It seemed like all the Thunder had were 1-on-1 players, whereas LA came out passing and playing team defense. Oklahoma City relies heavily on Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, and Westbrook could be seen early pouting at the end of the bench alone instead of being in his team’s timeout huddle.
Chris Paul stayed assertive, leading all scorers with 32 points on 8/9 three’s, while also dishing out 10 assists. Blake Griffin backed him up with 23 points, but it was truly a team effort. The total assists favored the Clippers by a wide margin.
It was 69-52 at halftime, and 122-105 in the end. The reserves for both teams played the entire fourth quarter.
*Oklahoma City’s arena was wearing blue, while their team played in white home uniforms and the Clippers rocked the road blue. Oops!
….. the coach has lost his team when during crunch time a key player removes himself to the corner….should’ve kept Hardin.
