Brandon Boston Jr., who had 10 assists, hit a 27-foot 3-pointer and followed with a dunk after a Missi steal to give New Orleans a 105-101 lead.

THUNDER 134, CLIPPERS 128

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a career-high 45 points and Oklahoma City beat Los Angeles in its first game this season without Chet Holmgren.

Holmgren will miss at least eight weeks with a broken pelvis after a hard fall during Sunday’s loss to Golden State. The 7-foot-1 forward/center had been one of the league’s most efficient scorers and shot blockers.

Gilgeous-Alexander took over by making 13 of 21 field goals and 15 of 16 free throws. He also had nine assists. Jalen Williams scored 28 points and Lu Dort added 19 for Oklahoma City.

With their tallest starter at 6-foot-6, the Thunder ran relentlessly but committed only 11 turnovers. They were outrebounded 47-29.

Norman Powell scored 31 points, but fouled out when the Clippers trailed by four points with 1:32 left. Ivica Zubac had 22 points and 14 rebounds and Derrick Jones Jr. added 20 points for Los Angeles. James Harden had 17 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists, but he was 5 of 15 and committed five fouls.
