The Lakers enjoyed a thumping victory against the Thunders in the away game in Chesapeake Arena, Oklahoma. They protected a significant lead against the Oklahoma City Thunder and won in a 116-95 rout to move to 14-13 for the season, despite Anthony Davis being unable to play due to knee issues.

They’re hoping their third win in three tries over an OKC team that is having one of the NBA’s most talent-depleted rosters will help to solidify their hold on a playoff spot.
