    Wow. KD with a long 3 to cut the Clippers' lead to 5, 59-54, with 7:30 left in the third quarter.
  • 5/16/2014 4:19:51 AM Mike.James
    Jordan with a strong couple of follows and finally scores inside. He's much more effective than in the last game.
  • 5/16/2014 4:20:02 AM Eric Pincus
    Third on Westbrook with 7:24 left in 3rd

    10 points in 2.5 minutes for Kevin Durant. He's got 24, Thunder trails LAC 59-54. 7:24 left in third.
  • 5/16/2014 4:20:29 AM melissa.rohlin
    Durant is 4-for-6 from three-point range tonight. He's leading all scorers with 24 points.
  • 5/16/2014 4:20:50 AM Mike.James
    Durant is going crazy. He's got 10 in the quarter, and it's a five point game. That shot was from about 29 feet. Yeah, he's not a bad player.

    Thunder within 5 - turn the ball over - Griffin going to the line after forcing a foul on N Collison
  • 5/16/2014 4:22:37 AM Eric Pincus
    Serge Ibaka not on the court - something wrong with his leg - unclear as to what
  • by LA Clippers via twitter 5/16/2014 4:23:18 AM
    6:29 3Q: #Clippers 60, Thunder 54. @deandrejordan 5 pts, 10 rebs, 2 stls.
  • 5/16/2014 4:23:31 AM melissa.rohlin
    Westbrook with a pretty bad turnover. He's really struggling tonight. He's 0-for-5 from the field and has 2 turnovers. Amazing how a player can look totally different from one game to another. He was remarkable in Game 5.
  • 5/16/2014 4:25:25 AM Mike.James
    Griffin is 5 for 8 from the line. The Clippers are shooting only 58% on free throws, and in a game that's going to be as tight as this one, that won't get the job done. Paul is also 2 for 8 from the field. Still, the Clippers lead by six. Westbrook is still scoreless from the field.

    Rihanna was just shown on the jumbotron sporting a cropped pink wig. Still looked gorgeous. Wouldn't be able to say that about pretty much anyone else.
  • 5/16/2014 4:26:08 AM Eric Pincus
    Former Clippers guard (now with Pelcians) Eric Gordon in the building
  • 5/16/2014 4:27:19 AM Mike.James
    Westbrook now 0 for 6 from the field, and Redick follows with another left-handed drive.
  • 5/16/2014 4:27:21 AM melissa.rohlin
    Reddick has 12 points for the Clippers, he's giving them a much-need boost. The Clippers are up, 62-54, with 5:34 left in the third.
  • 5/16/2014 4:27:44 AM melissa.rohlin
    @Mike: Is this the same point guard we saw in Game 5?

    Blake. Just. Missed. A. Dunk.
  • 5/16/2014 4:29:54 AM Mike.James
    The Clippers are managing to hang on under the Durant onslaught. But Griffin on two possessions missed a dunk and a point-blank turnaround. Missed opportunities.
  • 5/16/2014 4:30:08 AM Eric Pincus
    Clippers hot start long forgotten - down to 40.8% shooting from the field - Thunder within five
  • 5/16/2014 4:31:04 AM Eric Pincus
    Thunder ball - dangerous time for LAC - until Westbrook throws the ball to Ryan Hollins on the Clippers' bench

  • 5/16/2014 4:31:26 AM Mike.James
    Brutal possession for the Clippers, saved by Westbrook's wild turnover on the other end. Then Paul scores to put it back to seven.

    OKC hanging around..and hanging around..
  • 5/16/2014 4:32:42 AM Mike.James
    Westbrook finally scores, off a feed from Nick Collison. Then Barnes passes up an outside shot, drives the lane and throws it down hard with a left. Higher percentage on that shot.
  • 5/16/2014 4:33:22 AM Eric Pincus
    One-handed touch pass from Blake to Jordan was very sharp - 68-61
  • 5/16/2014 4:33:25 AM Mike.James
    Here's a big surprise: Durant is 7 for 7 from the line. Ibaka apparently done for the game with a bad calf.
  • 5/16/2014 4:34:23 AM Eric Pincus
    Thunder now shooting 42.0% - better than Clippers 41.3% - turnovers though - OKC 12 to LAC 4
  • by LA Clippers via twitter 5/16/2014 4:34:41 AM
    What a pass by @blakegriffin32 tapping it in mid-air to @deandrejordan for alley-oop layup. LAC 68, OKC 61
  • 5/16/2014 4:34:41 AM Mike.James
    Blake Griffin has eight assists, only one fewer than Westbrook and Paul.
  • 5/16/2014 4:38:19 AM melissa.rohlin
    Durant with a dunk. The Clippers lead has been cut to 3, 68-65, with two minutes remaining in the third.
  • by Bill Plaschke via twitter 5/16/2014 4:38:46 AM
    Ibaka doubtful return with calf injury...Little more urgency to Thunder now..
  • 5/16/2014 4:38:47 AM Eric Pincus
    Blake Griffin in the post - a badly needed basket - Thunder very active defensively
  • by OKC THUNDER via twitter 5/16/2014 4:39:15 AM
    Russell delivers his 6th assist of the quarter, to KD for the dunk. Thunder trails Clippers by 5, late Q3.
  • 5/16/2014 4:39:20 AM melissa.rohlin
    Westbrook should just stop shooting. Tonight is not his night.

    Shelly Sterling is still coming to games. With her lawyer, Pierce O'Donnell. Don't really know why she's there again. (Mark J. Terrill / AP)


  • 5/16/2014 4:39:50 AM melissa.rohlin
    Westbrook is 1-for-8 from the field, yet the Thunder are only down by 7 points.
  • 5/16/2014 4:39:56 AM Eric Pincus
    Glen Davis wedged the ball into the side of the rim - an ugly attempt - but it was so ugly, it threw off the Thunder - D Collison scores on the offensive putback
  • 5/16/2014 4:40:32 AM Eric Pincus
    Mr. October - Reggie Jackson with a dunk - 72-69 LAC
  • 5/16/2014 4:41:17 AM Eric Pincus
    Nick Collison for 3?  Nick Collison for 3!  Tied after three at 72
  • 5/16/2014 4:41:22 AM Mike.James
    Darren Collison with a great follow. Haven't seen a lot of him tonight. Westbrook misses, then makes his own follow. But a turnover by Paul results in a breakaway. It's definitely nervoustime for the Clippers ... and another three-point shot by Griffin certainly isn't the answer.
  • by OKC THUNDER via twitter 5/16/2014 4:41:31 AM
    Driving slam from Reggie Jackson and 3-pointer from Nick Collison and this game is tied at 72, end of Q3. #ThunderVsClippers
  • 5/16/2014 4:41:42 AM melissa.rohlin
    The crowd is on its feet. Collison hits a three-pointer to tie it at 72-72. End of third quarter. Here we go againnnnnnnnn
