Los Angeles at Oklahoma City

The Los Angeles Clippers came out hard and strong in game one, and took the crowd out of the game early. They then built momentum, and were never challenged. This is quite a predictable Thunder team, as since moving to Oklahoma their dichotomy off a win and off a loss are diametrically opposed. The Thunder are a very break-even 163-162-1 ATS off a win, but a loud 127-75-4 ATS off a loss, so expect the "A" game to be in the building for game two. Like a pitcher throwing a perfect game, Chris Paul will be hard pressed to duplicate his 8-9 shooting from 3-point range, and 12-14 shooting overall in game two. The Clippers have a sore spot, and it is the charily stripe, which was hidden in game one. LA hits just 72% in the playoffs, while Oklahoma City is tops at nearly 84%, and hidden points will reveal themselves tonight for the Thunder. The Thunder is rolling to an 18-7-1 ATS mark in their last 26 when following a double-digit home loss, and will get the equalizer tonight. Play on Oklahoma City.
