The Los Angeles Lakers returned to the court Friday night after a very eventful All-Star break, dropping a game on the road to the Oklahoma City Thunder 110-93.
It marked the team’s first appearance without leading scorer Lou Williams, who was traded to the Houston Rockets over the break to create more playing time for the young core. The Lakers shot poorly from the field and from the free throw line, sealing their fate in a game they were never really in.
Here are the three biggest takeaways from the loss to the Thunder.
