Pathetic Display: Lakers Embarassed by Thunder

The margin of victory looks like it's close, but covers up the most pathetic performance by the Lakers this season. Kobe Bryant lead the Lakers with 28 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists, but behind a 8-23 shooting, the Lakers had no answer for Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook as OKC's duo single-handedly  broke the Lakers down in what look like a 20+ blowout, but in a 16 point margin 116-101 since being taken out late in the 4th. Earl Clark had another good game, but not as great as the game in San Antonio as Clark hauled in 10 points and 10 rebounds. Marred by poor shooting, MWP tallied 12 points and Antawn Jamison lead the bench with 19 points, filling in for Jordan Hill, who's out for the season.

Final Score: vs. Oklahoma City 116-101 [L]
