The first game against OKC was one to forget for the Lakers. Up by 26 points close to the half, they went on to lose the ball game. Similarly, tonight was no different. With the Lakers up 19 points at one point, Thunder kept coming back at every moment. After that, they chose the fourth quarter to attack and took the game.

Westbrook and Anthony Davis came up big as a duo yet again, scoring over 25 points each. However, it didn’t prove enough as Shai Gilgeous Alexander came up big once again. With frustrations running high, Carmelo Anthony and Dort got into a scuffle.

Lakers-Thunder game turns heated

With the game cut close, Westbrook turned the ball over. With OKC calling timeout, the Lakers were defending the inbound. However, while all the players were gathered, Carmelo Anthony and Lu Dort got into a shoving match. They had to be separated as they kept jawing at each other.

Both of them came up big in the end moments as Carmelo Anthony hit two big three-pointers in his efforts to bring the Lakers close. However, it was Lu Dort who sealed the game with clutch free throws for OKC as they took the game 107-104.

Despite the Thunder being up by 9 points in the fourth quarter, the Lakers showed fight and cut it down to a one-point game. However, the heroics of Shai Gilgeous Alexander put OKC in the driving seat. He hit back-to-back threes, including a logo shot to put OKC back up.
