Q4:
OKC 117 LAL 113
Ah, so close, but again no cigar. But again, no matter the outcome, the Lakers get a moral victory against a very good team in the Western Conference. Last quarter for the Thunder, it was Kevin Durant that was lighting it up and this quarter, Westbrook started to play out of his mind to preserve a OKC victory. Lou Williams though, what a game for him! He's definitely earning a big plus in the full recap. Speaking of full recaps, I'll provide that shortly.
Q3:
OKC 90 LAL 85
Glad to see the Lakers are still hanging around against this Thunder team in the 2nd half. Whatever the outcome of this game is, if the Lakers keep this margin at a minimum, it's a moral victory knowing they could hang around against this Thunder team. Despite the competitive nature, somebody has to stop big bad #35 of OKC. Durant has started to lit it up during this quarter and looks to build his momentum to the 4th.
Q2:
OKC 60 LAL 53
A very entertaining quarter if you're an NBA fan. Kobe Bryant put on quite a show when he was on the floor this quarter, pulling off moves that us Laker fans were accustomed to seeing when he was in his prime. Though the Thunder have the lead, the Lakers are making this a game, despite the concerns of being energy-sapped after falling short against the Kings last night. But nonetheless, great back and forth quarter to end the 1st half.
OKC 32 LAL 28
Jordan Clarkson called bank on that buzzer beating half court shot! The Lakers are definitely importing their near comeback against the Kings last night and this was a competitive quarter for the most part. The only things that derailed this Laker team in that quarter are turnovers and 2nd chance opportunities. 7 offensive rebounds to 1 in favor of the Thunder is not a good stat line and most of them resulted into points from the Thunder.
