The Oklahoma City Thunder (44 - 20) took down the Los Angeles Clippers (41 - 22) in a potential Western Conference playoff preview Wednesday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena, 120 - 108. Oklahoma City shot a sharp 53 percent from the floor and resoundingly won the rebounding battle 52 - 29 as they grinded out the victory. The Clippers never held the lead, but they came back from a 12 - point second quarter lead to keep the game tied into the third quarter. But after the last tie, at 75 - 75, Oklahoma City busted out an 18 - 8 run to close the quarter and led by double digits for the entire final period. Kevin Durant led all scorers with 30 points (11 - 20 FG, 5 - 8 3PT) and added 12 rebounds and seven assists. Russell Westbrook tied Draymond Green for the NBA lead with his 11th triple - double as he scored 25 (9 - 15 FG, 7 - 7 FT), grabbed 11 rebounds and dished a season best 20 assists. The Thunder also got double digit scoring performances from Serge Ibaka (15 points), Andre Roberson (13 points) and Enes Kanter (14 points, seven rebounds), and when the Thunder's two superstars get support like that, Oklahoma City's offense is hard to keep up with. The Thunder continue their homestand Friday against the Timberwolves. The Clippers return home to host the Knicks on Friday.
