@JenniCarlson_OK 6:38 p.m. Clippers reserve Jamal Crawford has his fingers in his ears during the #Thunder opening. During the video. During the intros. Funny.

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:39 p.m. #Thunder game is being broadcast on ESPN and Fox Oklahoma. Who's watching where?

@anthonyVslater 6:49 p.m. Thabo Seflosha is shooting 57.6 percent from three this year (15/26). That's second in the NBA.

@DarnellMayberry 6:49 p.m. Finally got a buzz in the building.

@anthonyVslater 6:49 p.m. Thabo Seflosha is shooting 57.6 percent from three this year (15/26). That's third in the NBA.

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:49 p.m. With 5:31 left in the first quarter, we've already got a heck of a game. #Thunder up 18-11 over the Clippers.

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:50 p.m. Thabo Sefolosha and Blake Griffin are the high-point men for their respective clubs, both with 6 points already. #Thunder

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:52 p.m. Chauncey Billups, injured for the Clips, looks like he could be a coach right now. Super sharp dressed tonight.

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:55 p.m. Before that Westbrook miss on that last #Thunder possession, OKC had hit eight straight shots.

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:57 p.m. Remember, #Thunder led Memphis 30-20 at the end of 1Q. Lost big. OKC needs to keep up the intensity.

@JenniCarlson_OK 6:57 p.m. With 2:44 left in the 1Q, #Thunder leads 26-16 over the Clippers.

@anthonyVslater 6:59 p.m. Battle of the efficient 6th men tonight. OKC's Kevin Martin averaging 17.6 points in 29.6 mins. LAC's Jamal Crawford averaging 19.7 in 28.2.

@anthonyVslater 7:03 p.m. OKC up 28-22 on the Clippers after one. Nice start for Russell Westbrook, who had seven points and five assists in the first 12 minutes.

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:04 p.m. At the end of one quarter, the #Thunder leads the Clippers 28-22. Thunder shooting 57.9 percent, Clippers 40.0 percent.

@DarnellMayberry 7:04 p.m. Thunder 28, Clippers 22 after one. Westbrook has seven points and five assists.

@anthonyVslater 7:05 p.m. Thabo Sefolosha has hit a three in four consecutive games. That ties a career-long streak.

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:07 p.m. Random observation: Hasheem Thabeet's hand, wrist to longest fingertip, is at least as long as my forearm. Wowza.

@DarnellMayberry 7:09 p.m. One thing Thabeet is pretty dang good at: boxing out. He's forced two over-the-back calls already, one against Griffin, one against Hollins.

@DarnellMayberry 7:10 p.m. Second time in the first half KD has been bailed out.

@DarnellMayberry 7:13 p.m. Hasheem Thabeet is dominating play!

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:13 p.m. With 8:26 left in the second quarter, #Thunder leads the Clippers 38-31.

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:14 p.m. Thabeet is 2 of 2 with five points and three rebounds. About to toe the line for two, too.

@anthonyVslater 7:16 p.m. Hasheem Thabeet has only taken 11 shots this season. And he's hit nine of them. Small sample size, but it's still 82 percent.

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:17 p.m. These Clippers are deep. I knew it on paper, but seeing it makes it more real. Guys off the bench - Odom, Crawford, Bledsoe, Turiaf, etc

@DarnellMayberry 7:17 p.m. Durant just looked at the bench like 'What am I supposed to do against that?'

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:17 p.m. Vinny Del Negro complains a lot. That is all.

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:23 p.m. With 5:11 left in the 2Q, #Thunder leads the Clippers 47-38. OKC shooting 55 percent.

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:27 p.m. #Thunder winning this one at the line. 12 of 14 while Clippers are only 1 of 3. Good sign that the Thunder is getting to the hole.

@DarnellMayberry 7:29 p.m. OK. Serge Ibaka needs to stop putting his mouth on the ball. Somebody needs to explain to him what germs are.

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:31 p.m. With 2:15 left in the 2Q, #Thunder leads the Clippers 56-45. What a fun game.

@DarnellMayberry 7:33 p.m. Matt Barnes has taken three times as many shots (nine) as Chris Paul.

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:37 p.m. Oh, tonight's biggest news -- the halftime act is Red Panda! RED PANDA!!!! She's the best.

@DarnellMayberry 7:38 p.m. Um....

@DarnellMayberry 7:39 p.m. Organized chaos...

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:40 p.m. At halftime, #Thunder leads Clippers 59-49 on a buzzer-beating Ibaka 3.

@DarnellMayberry 7:40 p.m. At halftime, the Thunder leads the Clippers 59-49. Kevin Martin leads all scorers with 13.

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:40 p.m. Good news for the #Thunder: up by double digits. Bad news: Bad Russ has made an appearance, pressing too hard.

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:44 p.m. Let me say this about Red Panda, not only is she amazing, she's also no spring chicken. Riding a unicycle alone amazes me.

@JenniCarlson_OK 7:46 p.m. OK, #Thunder folks, my Twitter game is about to be cut back. I'm on a really tight deadline tonight, and I need to get after it.

@JenniCarlson_OK 8:05 p.m. Blake Griffin picks up his fourth foul with 7:27 left in the third. He's staying in for now. #Thunder

@DarnellMayberry 8:06 p.m. Golden Boy Kevin Durant just beamed an old lady sitting courtside with yet another one of his errant passes. Makes up for it with a kiss.

@DarnellMayberry 8:10 p.m. Arena medics are now attending to the lady, bringing her an icepack. But she's laughing about it and looks to be in good spirits.

@anthonyVslater 8:10 p.m. The Thunder is 2-7 with with four turnovers in the opening minutes of the third quarter. OKC's lead over the Clippers cut to 66-61.

@DarnellMayberry 8:12 p.m. We've had seven combined turnovers in 6 1/2 minutes to start the third quarter...I blame it on Lamar Odom.

@anthonyVslater 8:18 p.m. Thirteen players have at least two field goals in this game. None of them are named Chris Paul. He's 1-8 for four points.

@DarnellMayberry 8:26 p.m. Who says the two man game in the second unit left with James Harden. It's alive and well with Nick Collison to Hasheem Thabeet!!

@DarnellMayberry 8:26 p.m. After three, the Thunder leads the Clippers 76-69. Kevin Durant leads all scorers with 18 points. Serge Ibaka's got 13points & eight boards.

@anthonyVslater 8:28 p.m. This season, Hasheem Thabeet has 34 points, 32 rebounds, eight blocks and only two missed shots.

@anthonyVslater 8:35 p.m. First time since his rookie season Hasheem Thabeet has had double-digits twice in a year. He's playing well again, Thunder up 84-75.

@DarnellMayberry 8:44 p.m. Refs call a Flagrant Foul Penalty 1 on Ibaka and are now reviewing it.

@DarnellMayberry 8:45 p.m. Reduced to a regular foul...Video looked like Blake Griffin flopped. Sere didn't appear to push him that hard.

@anthonyVslater 8:45 p.m. Blake Griffin got a huge cheer here in pregame warmups. Even bigger one after he missed that free throw. OKC up 87-83.

@anthonyVslater 8:55 p.m. Thunder playing hack-a-DeAndre Jordan. Good move. He's a career 44% free-throw shooter, 42% this year.

@DarnellMayberry 8:56 p.m. Looked like Westbrook, after that last near turnover by Durant, told KD to stop passing. Time for him to start scoring.

@anthonyVslater 9:09 p.m. This is the closest the Clippers have been since they had a 2-0 lead. OKC and LA tied at 102 with 35 seconds left.

@anthonyVslater 9:12 p.m. The Clippers only lead of this game was 2-0. But they managed to force overtime with a frantic fourth-quarter rally. Thunder need this win.

@anthonyVslater 9:20 p.m. Westbrook and KD with a combined 51 points, but it's come off 15-38 shooting. Still, OKC up 110-107 with 1:28 left.

@anthonyVslater 9:25 p.m. Not a lot of people this OKC crowd loathes more than Matt Barnes. But they love when he gets his sixth foul. Thunder will pull this one out.

@anthonyVslater 9:32 p.m. Thunder 117, Clippers 111. Biggest win of the year for OKC. Kevin Durant leads all scorers with 35. CP3 goes 2-14 from the field.
