PHOTOS: Best images from the Thunder’s 108-94 win over the Clippers

The Oklahoma City Thunder were able to get their first win of the season against the shorthanded LA Clippers on Tuesday in a 108-94 win.

The Clippers were without their star duo of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Meanwhile, for the Thunder, they welcomed back Shai Gilgeous-Alexander after a one-game absence dealing with a hip contusion.

Gilgeous-Alexander led the way for the Thunder as he finished with a game-high 33 points. His backcourt partner Tre Mann also helped out with 25 points in the win.

Let’s take a look at some of the best photos from the home win for the Thunder as they now sit at 1-3 overall this season.
