What happened: The LA Clippers committed 14 first-half turnovers yet stayed ahead at intermission with the game in progress. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added three rebounds and two assists to his scoring total without attempting a free throw in the opening two quarters.

Why it matters: Oklahoma City's supporting cast shot 13-of-39 (33.3%) from the field outside of Gilgeous-Alexander during the first half. That shooting slump prevented the home side from capitalizing on the Clippers' ball-handling mistakes before the break.

By the numbers: Score: LA Clippers 46, Oklahoma City 43 (in progress). Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: game-high 11 PTS, 3 REB, 2 AST, 0 FTA. Non-Gilgeous-Alexander shooting: 13-of-39 FG (33.3%). LA Clippers turnovers: 14.

What to watch: Second-half play resumes in Oklahoma City with the Clippers seeking cleaner possessions to protect their narrow advantage. Oklahoma City will look for improved perimeter conversion from the rotation alongside Gilgeous-Alexander.
