The Oklahoma City Thunder came into the game against the Los Angeles Lakers with a chip on their shoulder because they knew they shouldn’t have lost to the Denver Nuggets on Monday.
I think this was sort of a letdown game for LA because they just clinched the No. 1 seed.
Regardless of all of this, OKC is a force to be reckoned with.
On Wednesday, the Thunder looked mighty good. Chris Paul finished the night with 21 points, seven rebounds, and six assists in the win. Danilo Gallinari scored 19 points, and Steven Adams added 18 points to the winning cause for the Thunder (42-25) who are now even with the Houston Rockets for the fifth seed in the Western Conference with just five games left in the Bubble.
