Game review
What happened
The Thunder beat the Clippers 108–101 at home. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led them with 34 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and Ajay Mitchell added 18. For the Clippers, Darius Garland had 16 points and 11 assists.
What the model got right
The model gave the Thunder an 85% chance at home, mainly because of their higher team-strength rating (96.7 to 79.0), and they won by 7. Recent form pointed the same way: the Thunder had been winning by 7.0 points a game, the Clippers winning by 3.7. Jordan Miller, Max Strus and Bradley Beal for the Clippers all missed the game, as the preview expected.
What didn't work
Not much went against the model in this one. The Clippers made more threes (15 to 8) and still lost.
Why
The result fits what the model leaned on, the team-strength rating. One win doesn't prove the model right: at 85%, about 1 in 10 games like this go the other way, and every result stays on our record.
