Over the last week, the Los Angeles Lakers have continued their dominance sitting at the top of the NBA after yet another win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Lakers currently are on a five-game winning streak, to run their record to 12-2. What gets lost in the two extended streaks is their tendency to let less talented teams stick around longer than they should. That was definitely the case on Tuesday night against OKC.
The Lakers were never in any real danger of losing control of the game to the Thunder, but turnovers and silly mistakes kept the Lakers from pulling away.
