The Thunder had a chance late as it never should have come down to that. Clips down 29-7 at one point in the 1st frame stayed the course behind 5-Star Point God CP3. OKC led 57-46 at the break only to be looking in the rear view mirror for the duration. OKC took a 75-63 lead into the 4th and final frame only to get outscored 38-24 in that frame to lose 101-99.

It was CP3, Blake, Jamal Crawford, and Darren Collison who all put their mitts together to even the series 2-2 for the Clippers who shot just 14% from the Arc...fourteen! It was the Clips taking care of the Orange and sheer determination that put them in the Winner's Circle in this one. Clips had 9 turnovers to OKC's 16. Blake Griffin lewd the Clips with 25 points as he grabbed nine boards. CP3 dropped 23 points and ten helpers as it was his play early on when the Clips were down that kept them within striking distance.  Collison was huge with his 18 points and most of that in the 4th frame.

The 2013-14 NBA M.V.P. dropped a 40-piece but was 1 of 7 from the Arc. Russell Westbrook added 27 points and eight helpers with Reggie Jackson the only other OKC player in double figures with 10. It was OKC's lack of Offensive Balance coupled with not being able to calm the Clippers Storm and that is not a mark of an NBA Champion.

Game 5 back in OKC on Tuesday March 13th....
