Well, the game went about as expected.
The Los Angeles Lakers are the defending champions while the Oklahoma City Thunder are one of the youngest teams in the league, which pretty much sums up how the Lakers were able to defeat OKC 128-99.
Coming into tonight’s game, Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault mentioned before the game that one of the biggest priorities he had for his defense against LA was to limit their fast breaks. The Lakers are fourth in the league averaging 16.2 fast-break points a game.
The Thunder did a good job of limiting LA to just 9 points.
