The L.A. Clippers having problems of their own stumbled into Thunder Alley where OKC's "Check Engine" Light might be on after losing to the Clips 125-117. Lob City dictated the "Pace" all game long as OKC was right there but could stop the Clips Starters namely Jamal Crawford dba Jamal 206 in Staples Blue and Red.
Crawford led all five Clipper Starters in Double Figures with a team-high 36 points and 15 of the 36 was from the 'Land of Plenty". Matt Barnes starting at the small forward added 24 points and grabbed seven boards with Blake going for 20 points, seven boards, and six helpers. The Clips Starters combined to out score the Thunder 116-86 and that was too much for OKC's Bench to overcome. Clips also shot nearly 52% FG and went to the line with a 39-24 advantage and for the Visiting Team to establish those numbers put them in the win column.
OKC gets a game-high 42 points and ten assists from KD but it was the play of Russell Westbrook that ha thrown OKC out of sync. Meaning getting back acclimated to Russ dominating the Orange as well as the OKC Rotation. Westbrook had just 13 points and six helpers as Ibaka added 20 points and six boards.
OKC is now 0-2 after the break losing to the Clips today and the Heat this past Thursday. The Clips erase their 0-2 start losing to the Spurs and Grizzlies buy beating OKC. OKC falls to 43-14 and the Clips move to 38-20...
Clips reportedly get word Big Baby Davis will be joining them as he received a Buyout from the O-Magic this past weekend...
