Oklahoma City Thunder Sets Franchise Record Win Streak

The Oklahoma City Thunder achieved a franchise-record 13th consecutive regular-season victory by defeating the LA Clippers 116-98, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leading the way with 29 points and eight assists. After a sluggish first half, the Thunder rebounded to score 42 points in the third quarter, ultimately overcoming a 16-point deficit. The Clippers struggled without star player James Harden, who was sidelined due to groin soreness, impacting their offensive capabilities. Norman Powell, averaging a career-high 24.3 points, had a rough night, missing his first nine shots and finishing with only six points. The Thunder improved their season record to 28-5, winning 17 of their last 18 games, while the Clippers fell to 19-14. Oklahoma City is set to face the New York Knicks next, while the Clippers will host Atlanta.
