Oklahoma City, OK (Sports Network) - Chris Paul scored 11 of his 31 points in
the fourth quarter, including the go-ahead basket with 8.8 seconds remaining
to give the Clippers a 100-98 comeback victory over the Western Conference-
leading Thunder.
Kevin Durant tried following Paul's driving floater as time wound down, but
his three-point try from the left wing found all iron.
Despite its fourth loss in six games, Oklahoma City maintained its one-game
lead over the Spurs atop the conference after San Antonio lost to the Lakers
Wednesday night.
Blake Griffin totaled 16 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists for Los
Angeles, which rebounded from Monday's loss at Memphis to stay 1 1/2 games
behind the Pacific Division-leading Lakers.
