Chet Holmgren suffered a fractured hip in Oklahoma City's loss to the Warriors on Sunday .

The Thunder started small and stayed small, fielding lineups almost entirely devoid of players taller than 6 -foot-6.

Oklahoma City had already been forcing a ton of turnovers before the injury.

No other team since the NBA-ABA merger has put together a starting five all 6 -foot-6 or shorter & had them score that many points.

Oklahoma City’s new starting line-up was mostly wrestling with the significantly larger Zubac .

The Thunder beat the Clippers 114 -105 in their first game of the season .

The last team to do that was the Warriors.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 45 points on 21 shots, four 3 -pointers, 15 free throws and nine assists.

Oklahoma City’s two worst defensive games of the season so far, even with all the forced turnovers.

The Thunder were able to survive, though, thanks largely to the small-ball look.
