Lakers look lifeless in loss to Thunder

The Los Angeles Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder were scheduled to play a basketball against each other on Wednesday, and while both teams technically participated, only one team showed up to play and it wasn’t the Lakers.

After locking up the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference on Monday, the Lakers turned in one of their most uninspired performances of the season and lost to the Thunder 105-86. There were a lot of issues with the way the Lakers played, but given the stakes, or lack thereof, and the sheer amount of issues there were, we’re only going to focus on a few, starting with the team’s 3-point shooting.
