Game of the week: Oklahoma City at Clippers
Looking ahead
Oklahoma City at Clippers
Monday at 7:30 p.m. PDT.
TV: Prime, NBA TV
The Clippers have been dismissed in some precincts as a cute little story that will come to an abrupt end in the playoffs. Try telling that to Oklahoma City, which has lost two of three meetings this season between franchises enjoying a swift ascent in the Western Conference.
Chris Paul has been particularly bothersome to the Thunder, collecting 26 points and 14 assists on Jan. 30 during a 112-100 Clippers victory and scoring nine of the Clippers’ final 11 points Wednesday during a 100-98 triumph in Oklahoma City.
Another victory by the Clippers in the series could give them a psychological edge should the teams meet in the playoffs.
