Thunder win, Thunder win! That’s two in a row. We recap the second OKC Thunder victory in a row, this one versus the Clippers. Enjoy!

The OKC Thunder may have started slow in this game, but boy did they ever finish strong. After falling behind by 13 points at halftime, OKC rode a remarkable third quarter to a 16 point lead to start the fourth.

If you’re thinking there must be a typo somewhere in there – there is not. The Thunder actually, sincerely won the third quarter 39-10, totally grabbing control of this game.

After allowing 24 free throw attempts in the first half – these touchy points of emphasis have got to go – the Thunder made a point of not fouling after half-time, and in fact allowed zero attempts from the line in the third. What a remarkable turnaround.

Other than that, basically everything was as you’d have imagined it. Russell Westbrook was awesome. Paul George was smooth as ever. Steven Adams did all the right things. Role players made role plays, Patrick Beverley was annoying, and the Thunder won.

Not only that, they won in impressive fashion.

There are more things that happened, though. Check out the Topic: Thunder recap of this, the Thunder’s second victory in a row, for more details.
