PREVIEW: The Oklahoma City Thunder arrive in Los Angeles undefeated at 7-0, matching their franchise record from last season's championship run. The Thunder have accomplished this perfect start despite significant adversity, with their entire roster never appearing healthy in a single game. Defensively, Oklahoma City excels with efficient free throw shooting at 86 percent and a low turnover rate ranked second in the league, while also forcing opponents into difficult three-point attempts. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues his MVP-caliber performance, averaging 33.6 points and 5.9 assists while shooting over 52 percent from the field. The Clippers welcome the reigning champions while playing the second night of a back-to-back after a heartbreaking loss to Miami. Los Angeles ranks first in post-up shot frequency and second in both efficient three-point shooting and attacking the rim, yet struggles with a high turnover rate ranked 30th league-wide. Both Kawhi Leonard and James Harden logged heavy minutes in yesterday's defeat, and now face a Thunder team operating at championship level with minimal rest. The equation tilts further toward Oklahoma City with Chet Holmgren returning from a three-game absence, bringing back the scoring punch and defensive presence that helped him average 23 points and over 10 rebounds earlier this season.
