The key plays were made by Evan Turner in the last two minutes of OT. Turner made a 14-footer to tie the score at 132, then drove for a layup and the foul to provide a three-point lead. Chris Paul made a layup to cut it to one, but Turner hit a 10-footer to restore the lead to 137-134. The Clippers had two chances to tie, but Paul Pierce and Jamal Crawford both missed from behind the arc. Jonas Jerebko wrapped it up by grabbing a traffic rebound and hitting two FTs after being fouled.
Boston was led by Isaiah Thomas, who had 36 points on 12-21 shooting and 11-12 at the line, plus 11 assists.
