In a game of massive runs, unlikely heroes, and decidedly too much Paul George, the Thunder were able to gut out a 120-111 victory after the Clippers scrapped back from down 20 points in the second half to tie things at 105 with just minutes to go. Though Oklahoma City ultimately triumphed, the shorthanded Clippers showed a lot of fight as they continued to claw their way back into the game time and time again.
After jumping out to a quick 6-0 lead, the Clippers proceeded to give up a 23-4 run thanks to a barrage of turnovers that led to easy fastbreak buckets that allowed Russell Westbrook to whip the Chesapeake Energy Arena crowd into a frenzy.
