Oklahoma triumphed over a direct competitor for a place in the play-offs, Clippers, in Los Angeles with a score of 101:100 in NBA League.

What worries the Clippers more than the loss is the injury Paul George, who was forced to leave the game four minutes before the end of the game, after receiving an awkward blow to the right knee during the landing.

The hosts opened the match well, they led 18:4, but Oklahoma quickly returned to equality, which was valid for all 48 minutes of the match.

After George's injury, the visitors took the lead (93:97), but the Clippers had a chance to "steal" the victory in the last attack. He took the responsibility Kawhi Leonard, but he failed to hit the basket in time, that is, Lou Dort played well defensively.

It was the most effective for Oklahoma Gilgis Alexander with 31 points, and on the opposite side Leonard had 21 baskets. LA Clippers is in fifth place in the West (38-35), while City Thunder is in seventh position (36-36).
