Pokusevski Scores 29, Thunder Top Clippers In Season Finale Aleksej Pokusevski scored a career-high 29 points, and the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 117-112 on Sunday night in the regular-season finale for both teams. It was a promising close to the season for the 7-foot rookie from Serbia. “To think about where he was at the beginning of the season and then the way he played now is a true, tangible example of a player developing,” Thunder coach Mark Daigneault sai...

Game Ball: Aleksej Pokusevski Alonzo Adams / USA TODAY Sports Aleksej Pokusevski was player who was given an extended opportunity to run the point for OKC on Sunday, and he made the most of it.

Jerome Lane – Dec. 1989 Jackson is the only player on that list to extend the streak to four games, so Bamba has the chance tonight to join even more elite company. QUOTE TO NOTE: “She taught me discipline. She taught me (about) being respectful. When it comes to the off-the-court things, just being a good person all around.

And when DeMarcus Cousins followed suit less than two weeks later, it was an opportunity for the big man to reunite with his favorite point guard Rondo, who many consider to be the Cousins whisperer himself. The two former Kentucky W...

Raptors past and present reunite in game with Clippers Field Level Media 04 May 2021, 06:05 GMT+10 The visiting Toronto Raptors and the Los Angeles Clippers will meet for the first time this season on Tuesday night, but the players on these teams know each other well. It is almost like a reunion of the 2019 Raptors NBA championship team. Kawhi Leonard and Serge Ibaka, who were key members of that team, are with the Clippers. Holdovers from that team such as Kyle Lowry, Pascal Siakam and Fred Va...

The theoretical desired starting lineup of Patrick Beverley, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Marcus Morris Sr. and Serge Ibaka has only played five minutes together this season, the last minute coming on March 11. If the Clippers go with that starting group with Ivica Zubac at center instead, that unit has played just 25 minutes...

Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports The Clippers and Nuggets have become appointment viewing whenever they play each other. The two teams had another dramatic battle, but the home team came up short for the third time this season as L.A. lost 110-104. Nikola Jokic and Michael Porter Jr. were the game’s leading scorers with 30 and 25 points. The Clippers had five players in double figures, but Paul George and Kawhi Leonard combined for only 36, their star power not enough to withstand Jokic’s....

After playing in three of the team’s six games during his first 10-day contract, Cousins has played in all five games of his second 10-day, which is set to expire today. There’s a good chance we haven’t seen the last of Cousins, though. The Clippers would have to sign him for the rest of the season to retain him, but his performance thus far, combined with the...
