In Tuesday night NBA action, the LA Clippers will invade the Paycom Center to battle the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Clippers (2-1) have a healthy Kawhi Leonard and Paul George which will make them a serious contender to dethrone Golden State in the Western Conference. On Sunday, LA trailed by 15 points after one quarter and could never recover during a 112-95 home loss versus Phoenix.
LA F Marcus Morris Sr. tallied a team-high 22 points on 10-for-14 shooting and pulled down five boards. The rest of the starters combined to score just 26 points (9-29 FG) for the Clippers, who missed 23 of their 32 three-point attempts.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have amassed plenty of future draft capital and lost number two overall draft pick Chet Holmgren to a season ending foot injury. On Sunday, Oklahoma City trailed by 13 points after one quarter and never regained the lead during a 116-106 home loss versus Minnesota. The Thunder (0-3) were outrebounded by a 54-42 margin and allowed the Timberwolves to shoot 52 percent from the field.
Lu Dort led six Oklahoma City players in double figures with 20 points (6-15 FG), but finished with an ugly minus 29 rating. Veteran F Mike Muscala added 11 points and nine rebounds in just 11 minutes off the Thunder bench.
