Any night that the Oklahoma City Thunder can win a game or the Flaming Lips perform is a good night in Oklahoma City. When both things happen on the same night, that’s something special. It all happened in downtown on New Year’s Eve.
John Clanton covered Opening Night festivities with the Flaming Lips, while Sarah Phipps was at the Thunder game. I welcome Sarah to the exclusive club of photographers from The Oklahoman who have photographed a Thunder win. The club’s membership is now two.
