Game Preview
The Oklahoma City Thunder grabbed their first win of the season Tuesday night at home against the LA Clippers and will face them again at home on Thursday night at 8:10pmET. The LA Clippers faced Oklahoma City on Tuesday night in Oklahoma City and lost 108-94. It was their second straight loss and dropped them to 2-2 on the season. The Clippers were without their two stars in this game, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, who were both out, as well as starter Marcus Morris.
So, the short-handed Clippers obviously struggled on Tuesday. The leading scorer was Luke Kennard off the bench, who had 15 points. John Wall added 12 points while Robert Covington and Ivica Zubac added 10 points each. Zubac also had 14 rebounds. The Clippers’ defense was on point, allowing OKC to shoot just 38% from the floor and 13% from three. But they just turned the ball over way too much, 18 times to be exact.
The Thunder were able to do three things that lifted them over the Clippers on Tuesday in their 108-94 win. Shooting was obviously not their forte Tuesday, as they shot just 38% from the floor and 13% from three. But they out-rebounded LA 60-47 with a whopping 21 offensive rebounds to 7 for the Clippers. They also had 12 steals and forced 18 Clippers turnovers, while only turning it over 5 times themselves.
If neither Paul George nor Marcus Morris play, on top of Kawhi Leonard’s absence, we can be in for an easy Thunder win, but if they do suit up, the Clippers will give them a run for their money. The turnovers need to be cleaned up, but the Clippers are a much better rebounding team than they showed, and I’d be shocked to see them get beat so bad on the glass again.
