Kevin Durant banged in a 14-foot jumper with 4:25 left in the game. One of those roll-around, rattle-around shots that falls when a guy can’t seem to miss.

It gave Durant 40 points on the night and cut the Clippers’ lead to one.

But Durant stayed stuck on 40 as the Thunder lost 101-93 Sunday night at the Ford Center.

You can’t score if you don’t shoot.

Down the stretch of yet another close game, the Thunder failed to get its franchise player another shot, save a 25-footer on the meaningless last possession.

The Thunder lost for many reasons. Pushed around by the bigger Clippers. No answer for LA’s two-man game of Baron Davis and Chris Kaman. Horrid shooting for much of the game.

But still, the Thunder had a chance to win, even led 93-92 on Russell Westbrook’s jumper with 1:59 left. But Oklahoma City never scored again.

"We gotta find him more shots down the stretch,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said of Durant.
