Welp Dort is called for an offensive foul when Plumlee went for the contest on that 3-pointer. Daigneault challenges it. OKC trails 123-117 with 1:43 left in the 4Q – 12:26 AM

Mason Plumlee not playing around AT ALL
He flew out to contest Dort 3. Argued strongly that it was a Dort foul, made the call for the ref and everything lol
Plumlee got the call… but now Thunder are challenging. – 12:25 AM

Thunder were on an 8-1 run in this quarter, but LA is holding onto 56-52 lead with 3:39 left in first half.
Another tough 1st half for Paul George. Only 5 points on 2/7 FGs. But that’s an improvement from Minnesota (3 points, 1/10 FGs).
PG has shot only 2 FTs last 7 1st halves – 11:02 PM

Clippers switching up rotation a bit to get Harden and Westbrook tandem without George and Leonard.

Ivica Zubac had a career-long 27-game streak where he made at least half of his FGs snapped Friday night in Memphis. Then the rim protection stalwart missed Sunday’s game at Minnesota.
LAC needs to improve in small lineups w/o Zu.

For the sickos who like to watch, Tuesday’s @LockedOnLakers pod, on YouTube! The Lakers get a 112-105 win over the Thunder, with a new starting lineup (D’Lo/Reaves/Prince/LeBron/AD). What does it mean moving forward? @LockedOnNBAPods @LockedOnNetwork

El nuevo @IntuitDome, hogar de @LAClippers encaminado a inaugurarse en agosto de este año.
Ni en Buffalo, ni en San Diego, ni en Los Ángeles, Clippers fue dueño o arrendatario principal del pabellón donde jugaba.

El Intuit Dome, hogar de @LAClippers, será inaugurado en agosto de este año.
En 2026 será la sede del All-Star Weekend y All-Star Game en Los Ángeles.
Noten cuán empinadas son las gradas superiores.

The home locker room, where the Clippers will be for both practice days and game days. The original design was actually expanded mid-construction when the team felt it needed more square footage. pic.twitter.com/QZbgo0YN3o – 4:06 PM

Clean injury report for OKC.
Zubac is the only LAC rotation player out.
Thunder’s 2nd night of a back to back and 5th game in 7 nights.
Looks like all the Thunder and Clippers stars playing tonight on TNT. – 4:02 PM
