OKLAHOMA CITY — Mike Taylor set up the go-ahead basket with a steal and then sent home an emphatic right-handed jam in the final minute as the Los Angeles Clippers spoiled the Oklahoma City Thunder's only preseason home game today with a 90-88 win.

Taylor picked Russell Westbrook's pocket and missed a fast-break layup, but Ricky Davis was there with the putback to give the Clippers an 84-83 lead with 49.9 seconds remaining.

Taylor then followed two missed free throws by Westbrook, the Thunder's No. 4 overall draft pick, by driving past him down the lane for a dunk with 31.4 seconds to play and kept the lead at three by matching Kevin Durant's two free throws with two of his own.

Durant had a potential tying 3-pointer with 9 seconds left, but it caromed off the rim and Los Angeles got the rebound.

Al Thornton led the Clippers with 23 points, Taylor finished with 14 and Davis had 13.

Durant paced the Thunder with 18 points, Westbrook and Earl Watson scored 14 and Johan Petro had 12 points and 15 rebounds.

John Lucas III and Durant hit back-to-back 3-pointers to give Oklahoma City its first lead since the first quarter at 74-72 with 6:41 to play, but Steve Novak answered with a 3 of his own to put the Clippers back on top.

Cuttino Mobley added another 3-pointer to put Los Angeles up 78-75, and the lead changed four more times in the final 5 minutes before Davis' putback.

Eric Gordon, the Clippers' first-round draft pick, scored nine points on 2-for-8 shooting in 22 minutes in his preseason debut.

Desmond Mason and Nick Collison added 10 points apiece for Oklahoma City, which concluded a stretch of five games in seven days and will now get an eight-day break.
