|The Clippers were unable to overcome the disastrous third quarter in their loss to the Thunder.
In a disappointing turn of events for the Clippers, their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder held significant importance on various fronts. Firstly, they were up against a formidable Oklahoma City Thunder team that sat ahead of them in the highly competitive Western Conference. Additionally, the Clippers aimed to kick off their post-All-Star Game schedule with a victory and maintain the momentum that had propelled them to third place in the West after the first 53 games. However, their hopes were dashed as they suffered a 129-107 defeat to the Thunder in their first game in eight days.
The pivotal moment came in the third quarter, where the Clippers struggled, shooting a mere 29.6% from the field. In contrast, the Thunder displayed remarkable accuracy, shooting 70% from the field and 71.4% from beyond the arc during the same period. As a result, the Clippers were outscored 35-23 in the third quarter, allowing the Thunder to build a 14-point lead courtesy of a 13-3 run to close out the quarter.
