Thunder Stumbles Late Versus Lakers, Drops Fourth Straight
The Oklahoma City Thunder lost its fourth straight today, as the Los Angeles Lakers took a 108-104 victory at Chesapeake Energy Arena. The loss moves the Thunder to 30-24 on the season.
The Lakers led by 10 with 2:30 remaining, using a poor shooting quarter from the Thunder to take a commanding lead. OKC used a frantic 9-2 run to draw within three points with less than 30 seconds to go, but the comeback was ultimately too little, too late.
Russell Westbrook led the way for the Thunder with 36 points and 9 assists, and Paul George added 26 points and 7 rebounds. Six Lakers scored in double-figures to pace a balanced effort that made Oklahoma City 1-4 since losing Andre Roberson for the season.
