    When Eric Bledsoe headed to the bench in the final minute, the Los Angeles Clippers' fans rose to their feet for an ovation. A few seconds later, they did the same for fellow rookie Blake Griffin.

    Sure, it's early November. But given the Clippers' miserable past and their iffy present, just allow their fans to enjoy this glimpse of their tantalizing future.

    Eric Gordon scored 27 points, Bledsoe added 17 points and eight assists in his second career start, and the Clippers held Kevin Durant to a horrific shooting night in their first victory of the season, 107-92 over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night.

    Griffin had 18 points and nine rebounds for the Clippers, who rebounded from their 0-4 start with an impressive win over the Thunder and Durant, last season's NBA scoring champion. Durant scored 16 points but missed 10 3-point attempts while going 6-for-24.

    After complementing each other so well on the court, the Clippers' rookies repeatedly complimented each other in the locker room.
