OKC Thunder vs LA Clippers | Game Highlights | February 22, 2024

14 at home 14 on the road first possession of the game Josh giddy trying to back down one of the best defenders that was James Harden turn around to bake in tough shot over the shoulder hop out here already an early steel and Dort went right at

Harden took it away goes right to the cup for the bucket momentary stop and this was Dort taking it away from Harden and you love that too this time giddy able to fire it up to Dort as dorton tiptoeing around that Baseline ched hren launches his first shot and

Splashes it home from three and that’s why they’re where they are right now because of you know their ability to score the basketball and defend you on both ends there was something that score the basketball we’re talking hard well he’s challenging zubach you know you

Know you got to find me you got to find me in transition now 39 12% thunder right behind over 39% so these are the top three-point shooting seeds percentage wise in the NBA and all of a sudden the shot he’s 45% from Deep D though he was in bounds yeah and you

Like that because the ball moved from one side of the floor and an Allstar for the ninth time he was in Indianapolis as was SGA who’s got the fall in his hands for the Western Conference Shay that time he got that step back three and he

Sticks it 7% of the Season these are the top two three-point shooting teams in the NBA on the season and so far we’ve been seeing it this is a chance for the Thunder to get out in transition also Clippers are really good when they’re just sitting there and and when

You can push the pace and not allow them to dictate one of the keys of the game doesn’t matter how you get them get them off an offensive rebound a dead ball situation this is off a rebound and you get out there quickly and look at that

Just one shot fake Pati when they need to be and they’re speeding this game up when they need to be as well and that’s one way to do it you were looking at me as soon as he made it to make sure that he got it in lumbley misses the

Reverse nice pass kenri Williams running the floor Cas Wallace patiently waiting for his teammate the momentum of this game swapped to the Clippers one out a 10 no run it’s a 132 run in the front of looking for a little more seeing his growth and development two plus seconds

Between shot and game Russell Westbrook dribbles it right off of his foot now time looks as here it is where looks like it came off of Wallace’s foot Westbrook was talking has been a productive player over the course of his 13 plus years hren spinning left and floats it up and

In that’s a tough move on that spin left that he likes to do this just continue to keep the Clipper spread out and an attack quickly Wiggins been wearing out that sideline and he finds the bottom of the net yet again from three there it’s the Clippers back the

Other way quickly nice anticipation wiggin stepping in front of zubot cuz I don’t have that elevation like a Paul George or even a j dub as well how about this behind the back pass and a wide open shot for Chad I mean they they move the basketball you got coffee passing over to

Powell little turn around Fade Away Jaylen Williams always under control that one was smooth had another good look and knocked down a couple of Threes Shay leans into that layup going to work on James Harden what a sweet move Harden in and out on that three as SGA clutches the

Rebound trying to once again push the pace a little little crossover from SG what a sweet move once again 63 seconds left here in this first half but SGA showing it looked like they had control of the game game it’s tight here 6161 opening minute of the third quarter what

Do you expect here in the second half well at some point time Dort trying to maneuver in the lane here teron L say stay home and Dort from the outside catches in another three pass will float that pass to him as this is that three on that previous

Possession have come in that exact same spot right around the elbow yeah and that’s his game he’s a mid-range shooter oh nice cut beautifully done beautifully conceived once again another drive to the basket you draw in two Defenders now he’s normally a three-point shooter likes to stay out

There but recognize that that dunker slot was wide open went to the free thr line five times in that first half Paul George fell to the floor there’s Isaiah Joe once again streaking across the Baseline this time it’s hren feeding him for the dunk Leonard pass the three instead it’s

Zubac and zubo denied at The Rim by jet holen who gives a little fist pump he’s got to confer here with Jason Goble wow that is terrific done an excellent job this year as man tried to throw that one down once again hren in the vicinity couldn’t get

It to go Isaiah Joe transition three and that one is good an opportunity which the Thunder been feasting on all night long this time Isaiah Joe from downtown you can count it on both ends George had it swiped Away by Dort went up for that jumper hip to hip in

Transition Dort able to shed him and lay it up and in George playing distributor his fifth assist zubot now into double digits Shay little step back action and he’s got himself another three in drive to the bucket at over three a game but you got to make that shot just to make the

Defense play you honestly that’s Brook and two bot this time on the backside it’s Jay du once again Isaiah Joe going to put it down let on that drive about this my goodness how do you block that shot at The Rim as pal also back in the game for La

Oh Shay just blew him the floor and SGA once again from the mid-range adds another to the Highlight Reel are getting physical inside man that’s not an ankle breaker that’s like a runaway freight train by the you know by the defend watch the the reverse layup it leaves

SGA opening transition too short on the three now they got to get back on defense it’s a two on one and zux is going to get blocked almost saved out of bounds by SGA as a thunder not relenting in transition has been defended at the

Rim and this time is Jay do man look at this just a clean block you talking about a guy that usually shoots about 80% for the game from that close zes so good nine out of 13 fun watching him in SGA Wiggins his Drive nice move went

Right at Leonard got clipped and fouled nice little watch this crossover folks and just go right in and finishes you said and bench points 25 to 22 going right back to Leonard in the post that time it looked like Josh giddy out of force the steal OD man Rush SGA

On pal off balance goes left still able to score and giddy turns it over C though back man trying to attack KAS Wallace got caught in the air and then he had it taken away how did he do that my goodness looks like man kind of was

Indecisive once he took that got up in the air and there is Josh skiddy with an unsettled defense as he reigns in that three the Clippers are trying to get Kawhi Leonard isolated on Josh gidy and coffee fumbled that pass had it blocked at The Rim Pal’s going to hang in the

Air that one rims out and it’s tapped over to gidy those shots were fallen in the first half and they’ve kind a seesaw back and forth between these two ball team ball Club qu as Jay dub inside goes right through the Clippers defense a little reverse the hard close out from

SGA who starts this fourth quarter for Mark dnal not his usual minutes another cut and another Beauty Jaylen Williams another assist he’s got five on the night he picks up number two this is just basic basketball basketball 101 overplay on the perimeter back door cut and you don’t cut in front

Of that guy you cut behind him because he’s facing Thunder can keep the clamps down on the Clippers Jed hren goes right at zubot takes contact going to get a chance for a three-point play zubach is backing up saying look all right I’m going to wait for you to

Get to the paint because I know you like to dribble and you can beat me off the dribble those guys do a lot of a heavy lifting and kitty sees an open aveno on the right side this time it’s the Thunder with a seal make it quick and

This is almost idental to the three-point play that Che so why is it a foul now Thunder trying to stuck any kind of Clippers momentum here in the fourth quarter you just got to continue to score the basketball oh Jay got inside looked like there was a little bit of

Contact and the ball squirted right over the DOR bounces off the Zub box as we come up on 5 minutes left to go now he’s going to take the shot in the mid-range and cashes it in zubot was waiting for the pass and he left giddy wide open

Swiping it away from zubot SGA that’s going to miss wide left hren plucks that rebound turn around with the left hand got it up over James Harden his first minutes of the game as has Brandon Boston number four for La SGA squeezes through a couple of Defenders post

Allstar break third of the Season there’s a turnover taken right back by jdub that’s a deep two and it rattles home and another deflection you know what’s funny is the theunder were trying to foul on that play to get the starters out of the game the fourth

Quarter and what a way to seal this Victory and a nice steal this be an easy two for the rookie and a little extra spice on that jam and what a way to open up the post Allstar break run here Thunder going to take down the LA
