The Lakers played their second consecutive game on the road and a late run killed their chances as the Thunder beat them, 113-96.
Oklahoma City went on a 13-0 run after the Lakers, who played from behind for the most part, cut it to a 95-91 deficit with 4:30 left. Russell Westbrook scored seven points on that decisive run; he continued his Destruction Tour to the tune of 33 points, 12 rebounds, and 16 assists. But where the Thunder won the game was in transition and in the paint. OKC scored 62 points inside the key (44 for the Lakers) and that’s how they built the lead in the first place.
