The Oklahoma City Thunder continued their dominant run, holding off the Los Angeles Clippers for a 103-101 victory to secure their sixth straight win and strengthen their grip on the NBA’s best record.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander delivered in the clutch, leading OKC with 26 points, including the game-sealing free throws with 3.1 seconds left.

Aaron Wiggins chipped in 19 points, while Alex Caruso dropped 14 as the Thunder improved to 59-12, now two games clear of the Cleveland Cavaliers for the league’s top spot.

 


 

Kawhi Leonard paced the Clippers with 25 points and 10 rebounds, but LA’s five-game winning streak came to an end.

With the loss, the Clippers fell to 40-31, sitting at eighth in the Western Conference standings.
