Tonight at 10:30 p.m. ET the Oklahoma City Thunder, one game away from reaching the Western Conference finals, will try to close out the Los Angeles Clippers on the Staples Center court on ESPN tonight in a Game 6 that can be live streamed free by clicking this link. Thunder fans can hear the game on WWLS 98.1, while Clips fans can get the radio broadcast on KFWB 980.
The Clippers will be at home, but must shake off one of the worst playoff meltdowns in recent memory to defeat Oklahoma City tonight and stay alive. All-Star point guard Chris Paul appeared broken and devastated following a multitude of mishaps that ended in a loss in Game 5, and teammate Blake Griffin needed to help CP3 get his mind right.
"He was visibly upset, and I told him that game is not on one guy," Griffin said. "It's not on him. We made plenty of mistakes down the stretch, plenty of mistakes throughout the game that could ultimately change the outcome. That idea that the game is on him, you understand what he's saying, but it's not on him by any means. We still have two games left to play."
Paul and the Clips should focus more on figuring out a way to keep in front of Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook, who blitzed them repeatedly by surging to the rim and getting layups. Westbrook took over the game for Oklahoma City while MVP Kevin Durant struggled mightily from the field, scoring 38 points on 11-of-23 shooting. He also added six assists and five rebounds.
Durant finished with a double-double of 27 points and 10 rebounds, but his shot was abnormally errant as evidenced by his 6-of-22 mark from the field.
