Talk about a balanced attack. Despite missing four members of the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team, the Lakers managed to snap their eight-game losing streak with quintessential team basketball.
Eight of the nine players who appeared for the Lakers scored in double figures, as they were able to keep Oklahoma City at bay, 120-101, in their final home game of the season.
Stanley Johnson led the charge for the Lakers, scoring a team-best 21 points with eight rebounds. While the 25-year-old used his trademark strength to bully his way to several buckets – including a particularly impressive left-handed, and-1 layup – it was his jumper that propelled him to his season-high in scoring.
