The win capped a 64-16 regular season, keeping them just ahead of the San Antonio Spurs and earning the Thunder the No. 1 seed for the third year in a row. Chet Holmgren starred with 30 points and 14 rebounds, while Shai Gilgeous Alexander added 20 points and 11 assists, extending his streak of games scoring 20 or more points to 140. Meanwhile, the Clippers, winners of eight of their last nine, now head to Portland to battle the Trail Blazers for a crucial Western Conference playoff spot.
