Game review
What happened
The Clippers beat the Thunder 113–112 at home. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 40 for Oklahoma City, and Brook Lopez led the Clippers with 26. Oklahoma City made 13 of 19 free throws and the Clippers made 17 of 21. The Clippers made 16 of 41 threes to Oklahoma City's 11 of 35.
What the model got right
We picked Oklahoma City at 60%, and the model was wrong by a single point. It had the teams close on strength (85.9 to 85.1) and leaned on Oklahoma City's recent form (about 4.8 a game against about minus 3.7). Oklahoma City was missing Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams, and the Clippers were without Brandon Ingram and Bradley Beal.
What didn't work
The model gave Oklahoma City only a small edge. The Clippers' three-point shooting and free throws made up the one-point gap.
Why
A 60% chance still loses about four games in ten, and this one was decided by a single point despite a 40-point night from Gilgeous-Alexander.
