The Oklahoma City Thunder had a bad night on offense in their 112-105 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday. It was a rough start to an LA back-to-back for OKC.
The Thunder shot 42% from the field and went 15-of-49 (30.6%) from 3. The 49 attempts were a season-high for OKC as the Lakers made it look uncomfortable all game.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who was questionable with a knee sprain, played but was limited to 24 points on 19 shots. Jalen Williams led OKC with 25 points.
Meanwhile, the Lakers enjoyed big nights from their All-Star duo. LeBron James had 25 points, seven rebounds and six assists while Anthony Davis had 27 points and 15 rebounds.
Let’s look at some of the best photos from the Thunder’s seven-point loss to the Lakers.
