the Thunder took the best of the Clippers (118-110), deprived of Kawhi Leonard, spared after a serious knee injury which kept him away from the courts for 16 months. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (24 pts) and Luguenz Dort (21 pts) largely contributed to OKC’s success, the Frenchman Ousmane Dieng remaining discreet (2 pts, 1 assist in 13 min).
Nicolas Batum was much more active (7 pts, 2 assists, 2 rebounds, 2 interceptions, 1 against) within Clips led by Nick Powell (21 pts), Paul George missing his match (10 pts to 4 /12, 7 rbds)
