Derek Fisher is giving OKC an unexpected lift. Still, in the long run, LA is much better off having him get hot than either of the Big 2.... LA's offense is struggling with the second unit a bit.

A lot of outside shots, very little penetration right now. From both teams.

Ibaka needs to start hitting some 3's lol

Foul update: OKC Durant/Westbrook/Jackson/Perkins 2 each -- no Clippers with more than 1

Griffin from outside again. LAC up 14.....
5/16/2014 3:29:19 AM melissa.rohlin
Blake leads all scorers with 11 points. He's calling for the ball right now. #eliminationgameintensity
5/16/2014 3:29:41 AM Mike.James
Great move by Collison to push the lead to 16. They hadn't been effective inside till that floater.

Clippers up to 53.6% from field - Thunder just 33.3% with 6 TO - LAC has 3

Derek Fisher has made his quota of shots for the series. Time to stop shooting.

They just showed Jack Nicholson on the jumbotron. Welcome to the other side, my friend.
5/16/2014 3:33:21 AM Mike.James
Blake Griffin vs. Steven Adams: a lot of brawn at the basket.
5/16/2014 3:33:39 AM Abramian_Stefan
Tony Romo spotted at the Clippers game! Clippers loosing today
5/16/2014 3:34:31 AM melissa.rohlin
Big difference in tonight's game: The Thunder have only been sent to the free throw line 4 times. The Clippers are playing very smart defense tonight.

How could anyone boo Jack Nicholson?

Nice to see Jack doesn't use a razor or comb for either Clippers or Lakers

Thunder are heating up - so Doc calls for time

5/16/2014 3:36:41 AM melissa.rohlin
Durant just made a three-pointer. He's 2-for-3 from the three-point-line tonight, but an overall unimpressive 3-for-9 from the field.
5/16/2014 3:36:58 AM Mike.James
Jeff Van Gundy: Memo to all Clippers: Do not leave the MVP alone. Good advice. OKC's 10-2 run, with consecutive threes, buts the lead from 16 to 8. You know that was coming at some point.
5/16/2014 3:37:09 AM melissa.rohlin
Doc Rivers calls a timeout. Clippers 41, Thunder 33 with 5:18 left in first half.

@mike: I hate it when leads are but.

Down by 16, Thunder cuts LAC lead to 8 with 5:18 till halftime. It's 41-33. Durant's 3 gives him 9 points. #ThunderVsClippers on @ESPN
5/16/2014 3:40:18 AM melissa.rohlin
Durant with another 3-pointer to cut the Clippers lead to 5, 41-36. He's 3-for-4 from that range tonight.
by OKC THUNDER via twitter 5/16/2014 3:40:44 AM
And there's another 3 for KD, his third. Thunder pulls to within 5. OKC on 13-2 run.
5/16/2014 3:40:47 AM Eric Pincus
Clippers are cold - up just five
5/16/2014 3:40:53 AM Abramian_Stefan
Durant has made 3 three's in a row, since ESPN showed Tony Romo
5/16/2014 3:41:08 AM Mike.James
Here comes Kevin Durant. His three straight makes turn it into a five point game. Maybe these two teams should just start even in the fourth quarter. They're incredibly even.
by Bill Plaschke via twitter 5/16/2014 3:41:09 AM
Well, OK, KD has decided to play after all...
by LA Clippers via twitter 5/16/2014 3:41:21 AM
Big 3 by JJ in corner after Durant had scored 9 in a row for OKC

Reddick hits a three-pointer to get the crowd back in the game.
5/16/2014 3:41:26 AM Eric Pincus
Blake Griffin hits J.J. Redick in the corner for a three - Clippers needed that . . .
5/16/2014 3:41:45 AM Eric Pincus
44-36 with 3:00 left - Thunder ball
5/16/2014 3:41:51 AM Mike.James
The clippers really needed that three by Redick. Nice job by Griffin to find him
5/16/2014 3:42:00 AM Eric Pincus
Fisher with back-to-back air balls?
5/16/2014 3:42:31 AM melissa.rohlin
Why you gotta foul Blake on that dunk and mess up a potential Sports Center highlight. Sheesh.

DeAndre has not shot FT well this series - just split a pair.
5/16/2014 3:44:40 AM melissa.rohlin
DJ just scored for the first time in two games. (He was scoreless in Game 5).
5/16/2014 3:44:50 AM Mike.James
Fisher has gone very cold, his shots are suddenly missing by feet rather than inches. Griffin hard to the basket and draws the foul on Ibaka. He makes one of two, but Adams called for a foul on the second shot and DeAndre goes to the line.... Klunk, make. LAC, 46-36.
