NBA: Oklahoma City Thunder Wins Sixth Straight Game

232

Shooting guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 26 points while Aaron Wiggins added 19, as the Oklahoma City Thunder extended its winning streak to six games by holding on for a 103-101 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.

Kawhi Leonard scored 25 points with 10 rebounds and James Harden added 17 points as the Clippers saw their five-game winning streak come to an end.

Trailing 101-100, the Clippers had multiple chances to take the lead in the final 22 seconds, but Norman Powell missed a 3-point attempt and Leonard was off target on a contested 21-footer.

Gilgeous-Alexander extended the lead to three points against his former team on two free throws with three seconds remaining. The Clippers got the ball back, but Leonard was intentionally fouled. After purposefully missing the second free throw, they could not score at the buzzer.
