The Thunder bounced back from their recent defeat against the Warriors with a tough victory over the LA Clippers on Monday night. Without center Chet Holmgren, who sustained a hip fracture in the game against the Warriors, the Thunder attained their ninth win of the season.

Gilgeous-Alexander’s Career Night Leads OKC

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander dominated his old team by netting a career-best 45 points. In addition to providing nine assists, grabbing three rebounds, making five steals, and blocking two shots. This groundbreaking stat line established Gilgeous-Alexander. As the first player ever in NBA history to accomplish such a feat, as reported by StatMamba on X. The All-NBA guard, who has excelled in recent seasons, might be headed for yet another All-NBA selection this year.

Thunder’s Defense Overwhelms Clippers

The Thunder’s fierce defense compelled the Clippers to commit 23 turnovers, which countered LA’s impressive shooting performance. Gilgeous-Alexander alone recorded five steals, demonstrating his defensive skills. This victory pushed OKC to 2-0 versus the Clippers this season, maintaining their strong beginning.

Clippers Look to Rebound

Following the defeat against Thunder, the Clippers now turn their attention to the upcoming match against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. They will strive to overcome their recent difficulties and return to winning at the Toyota Center.
