<p>Chris Paul had 31 points, six rebounds, and four assists in leading the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.clipsnation.com/">Los Angeles Clippers</a> to a much needed 100-98 road win over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.welcometoloudcity.com/">Oklahoma City Thunder</a> Wednesday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena. The Clippers trailed by four points after three quarters and by double digits in the second half, but outscored the Thunder 24-18 in the fourth period.</p>
<p>Blake Griffin had 16 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists for the Clippers, who shot 46.9% on the night. The Clippers remain a half game ahead of Memphis, who beat Phoenix Wednesday night. Right now the Clippers are the No. 4 seed while Memphis is the No. 5 seed. The two could face one another in the first round, and home court advantage is on the line, with the Clippers holding the tiebreaker.</p>
<p>Kevin Durant had 22 points and nine rebounds to lead the Thunder. Russell Westbrook added 20 points for Oklahoma City in defeat. Former <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/">Lakers</a> guard Derek Fisher scored eight points for the Thunder on 3-of-5 shooting, including two three-pointers.</p>
<p>The Clippers conclude their three-game road trip Thursday night in Minnesota against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.canishoopus.com/">Timberwolves</a>.</p>
