Despite a promising showing on opening night, the OKC Thunder took 10 steps backwards in its loss 108-92 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Russell Westbrook missed his second consecutive game and the offense was ugly from start to finish.
Trusted with carrying the bulk of the offense, Paul George and Dennis Schroder shot a horrid 9-42 from the field including a 3-14 performance from distance. PG13 came out slinging from the outset, forcing shots over out stretched arms and appeared disinterested in driving to the cup. Schroder was way off all night long and was never able to establish any rhythm thanks to foul trouble.
