LOS ANGELES — As the Thunder has fought its way out of the hole it dug to start the season, the guys you'd expect have done the bulk of the hard climbing.
Russell Westbrook. Paul George. Carmelo Anthony.
They were as collectively spectacular as ever on Thursday, lifting the Thunder to a second straight win at the Staples Center, this time a 127-117 comeback victory against the Clippers.
But against L.A., the Big Three got a big hand with the hard work.
The Thunder got 10 points from its bench in a 12-0 run to start the fourth quarter to erase a 97-94 deficit.
