Wed Mar 26 03:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Thunder Snap Clippers’ Streak, Extend Own Run to Six

**INGLEWOOD, Calif. —** The Oklahoma City Thunder, despite missing key players and an off night from their star, stunned the Los Angeles Clippers 103-101 Sunday night, extending their winning streak to six games while ending the Clippers’ five-game run.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 26 points and eight assists, though he shot a season-low 24.1% from the field. Aaron Wiggins added 19 points, and Alex Caruso’s crucial three-pointer with 1:54 remaining proved the difference-maker after Oklahoma City squandered a nine-point fourth-quarter lead. Isaiah Hartenstein contributed 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Jaylin Williams chipped in 12 points. The victory was particularly impressive considering the absence of Jalen Williams (hip) and Chet Holmgren (hip), the team’s second and third leading scorers.

Kawhi Leonard’s 25 points and 10 rebounds weren’t enough for the Clippers, who also saw James Harden struggle with a 4-of-14 shooting performance and six turnovers. Harden’s late-game turnover proved costly, as his delayed pass to Leonard resulted in a missed shot at the buzzer.

The win marks a 4-0 season sweep for the Thunder over the Clippers, a testament to Oklahoma City’s resilience despite their injury woes. The Thunder next face the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday, while the Clippers travel to New York to play the Knicks on Wednesday. Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue returned to the bench after missing the previous two games due to back pain.
