RussellMania is Running Wild! - D'Lo Score 29 for Lakers, but Westbrook Grabs Triple-Double and Win for OKC

If anybody's asking, the headline is a play on the name of my Fantasy Basketball team. With Lou Williams gone, it was time for the young Lakers to showcase their talents. D'Angelo Russell was the Lakers' top performer with 29 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals, but the effort came up short as the Lakers fall to the Thunder 93-110 behind yet another triple-double from Russell Westbrook. Meanwhile, Julius Randle grabbed a double-double of 13 points and 11 rebounds and Brandon Ingram chipped in 11 points to round out the starters. With Sweet Lou no longer on the team, Jordan Clarkson assumed the 6th man role, leading all scorers off the bench with 14 points and Ivica Zubac followed with 11 points and 6 rebounds. Larry Nance Jr. only scored 4 points off the bench, but he grabbed 12 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Final Score: @ Oklahoma City 93-110 [L]
