Clippers' Finale Sums Up Season

The Los Angeles Clippers ended a dreary season with a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder that seemed to sum up the entire season in one game. The Clips fell 126-85, their 63rd and final loss of the season. The Clips end with 19 wins. OKC shot .539 from the field, and collected 17 steals. LA turned the ball over 22 times, and were out-rebounded 49-32, out-assisted 36-16, and went to the charity stripe just 14 times, compared to the Thunders' 32 opportunities. Eric Gordon scored 22 points to lead the Clippers, and Mike Taylor added 15 points off the bench. Chris Kaman scored 13 points, and no other Clipper scored in double-figures. Kevin Durant led OKC with 26 points, Jeff Green scored 19 and UCLA-product Russell Westbrook added 13. Three players off the Thunder bench scored in double-digits.
