NBA: Oklahoma City 83, LA Clippers 79

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12 (UPI) --

Kevin Ollie made two free throws with 4 seconds remaining Wednesday to wrap up Oklahoma City's 83-79 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Thunder won on the road for the second time this season by limiting the Clippers to 10 points in the fourth quarter.

Oklahoma City was clinging to a two-point lead inside the 30-second mark when Ollie stole the ball from Chris Kaman. Rather than foul immediately, the Clippers tried to play defense for the duration of the 24-second clock.

As the clock wound down, Ollie put up a 3-point attempt and when that shot missed he grabbed the rebound. Ollie was promptly fouled by Marcus Camby and made good on both free throws to clinch the win.

Kevin Durant scored 30 points to lead the Thunder, who trailed by three entering the fourth period. Jeff Green had 13 and Ollie scored 11 points.

The Clippers were paced by Kaman with 20.
