Apparently, all the Lakers needed to beat the Thunder this season was to sit all of their star players. Without LeBron James, Anthony Davis or Russell Westbrook, the Lakers knocked off Oklahoma City 120-101 in their final home game of the season on Friday.
Eight Lakers scored in double figures on the night, led by Stanley Johnson’s 21 points. Wenyen Gabriel had 16 points off the bench and Talen Horton-Tucker and Dwight Howard had 15 points apiece. For the Thunder, Jaylen Hoard and Georgios Kalaitzakis combined for 52 points in the loss.
Most importantly, everyone got free tacos for the first time in over a month.
