  "textContent": "**Final: Thunder def. Clippers 128-110**\n\nBox Score | Play-by-Play\n\n## Nuggets and Notes\n\n  * The Oklahoma City Thunder clinched the #1 overall seed in the NBA. The defending champs will have homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs.\n  * Not that there should've been any doubt left whatsoever, but OKC also clinched the back to back MVP trophy for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.\n  * That's 7 straight wins for OKC.\n  * And 8 straight wins over the Clippers.\n  * The Thunder stormed out of the gates with focus and force. Swarming defense. It was clear from the jump OKC wanted to clinch the #1 seed and finish their regular season tonight.\n  * Chet Holmgren had a career night. In the first five minutes, Chet had 14 points on 3-4 shooting. The Clippers had 9 points on 4-11 shooting up to that point.\n  * Holmgren's final line: 30 points (one shy of his season high), 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks. He shot 10-13 from the field and 3-4 from 3.\n  * Sorry, back to back MVP SGA. Apologies, fringe First Team All-NBA Kawhi. Forgive me, recovering All-NBA/All-Defense JDub. But Chet went wire to wire as the best player on both sides of the court.\n  * Jalen Williams returning to this offense and applying so much pressure at the rim along with his playmaking and elite defense takes OKC to a whole other level.\n  * Holmgren is going to be All-Defense First Team. He's going to finish top-two in DPOY voting. And he should make All-NBA Third Team.\n  * That's back to back nights that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 5 assists in the first quarter.\n  * SGA has missed 38 fourth quarters (sat out 26, missed 12 due to injury), but SGA leads the NBA in clutch scoring.\n  * SGA took one (1x) free throw against the Clippers. He has 12 total free throws in his last four games combined. Some free throw merchant.\n  * Shai has scored 20+ points for the 140th straight game. If tonight was his last game of the season, SGA is a perfect 68 for 68.\n  * Thunder versus Clippers featured the two players with the longest 20 point streaks in the NBA. To put the gap between the streaks into perspective: If Kawhi scored 20 points every game the rest of this season and all of next season…\n\n…he’d tie SGA’s streak the final game of 2027.\n  * Isaiah Joe could be an X factor for OKC in the playoffs. What a weapon off the bench.\n  * Joe had 21 points and hit 4-7 from deep. He is now 18-28 from 3 in his last four games. Strokin' Joe is shooting a career high 42.3 3PT%.\n  * Hoping to see Nikola Topic play 30 minutes versus the Nuggets on Friday night. Go Nuggets?\n\n\n\n## One ~~Key~~ Seed Takeaway\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
