AFPWASHINGTON—Oklahoma City stretched the NBA ’s best win streak to 13 games with a home victory Thursday while the reigning champion Boston Celtics held on for a last-shot triumph at Minnesota.
Oklahoma City trailed 52-48 at half-time but outscored the Clippers 42-20 in the third quarter and Los Angeles never closed the gap. Jayson Tatum sparked Boston with 33 points on 13-of-27 shooting, 6-of-17 from three-point range, and added eight rebounds and nine assists. The Celtics made only four turnovers while forcing 16 by the Timberwolves , who made it close by outscoring Boston 20-4 at the free throw line.
Minnesota got the ball after a Tatum miss with 3.1 seconds remaining but Anthony Edwards missed a three-pointer at the buzzer to give Boston the victory. Despite a sprained right thumb the 36-year-old guard and all-time NBA three-point leader went 11-of-15 from the floor, added 10 assists and was one shy of the most three-pointers without a miss in an NBA game, the 9-for-9 efforts by Jalen Brunson, Ben Gordon and Latrell Sprewell.
