Shai dagger leads to OKC’s 50th win 5️⃣0️⃣
With less than a minute to play, the Warriors had cut the Thunder lead to two points. SGA calmly drilled a stepback three-pointer over Draymond Green to effectively shut the door on any comeback hopes. The shot came after a rather low-scoring fourth quarter.
SHAI WALKS DOWN DRAYMOND FOR THE DAGGER 🔥
Oklahoma City improves to 50-15 and improve their edge over San Antonio to three games. Isaiah Joe contributed 18 after getting the starting nod while the OKC bench added 33 points. Even without having Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein, or Jalen Williams in the lineup, his team can get it done despite injuries on a nightly basis.

New Clippers big 3?
Darius Garland looked right at home in his first start as a member of the Clippers. It was the best scoring display through three appearances, as he finished with 21 points. Bennedict Mathurin added 21 of his own while Kawhi Leonard led all scorers with 28.
Darius Garland (21 PTS) knocks down the 3 🎯
The Clippers are in play-in territory in the Western Conference. If Mathurin, Garland and the Klaw can combine for 70 points with some frequency, that’d bode very well for there postseason chances.
