‘Y’all Suck’: Twitter Reacts as Los Angeles Lakers Surprisingly Fall to OKC Thunder Without LeBron James

The Lakers go back to backs as their schedule sees them face OKC. After a tough fought win over the Spurs, the Laker nation had no break in store. However, that did not seem to affect them because they started off hot against the Oklahoma City Thunder. But things took a turn when OKC made a comeback in the third quarter. They evaded some serious danger after the Lakers air balled two potential game tying threes in a row.

The Lakers began the first serious purpose. They outscored the Thunder 41-19 and took a commanding lead early in the game. However, OKC gave it right back in the third quarter by scoring 18 points more than the Lakers and taking the advantage going into the fourth quarter.

The home crowd did not disappoint either, as the support stayed in all night long.

For the Lakers, Anthony Davis was the star yet again. He tallied 30 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists while shooting. Russell Westbrook recorded his first triple double for the Laker with 20 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists. However, late game turnovers hurt the Lakers. Off the bench, Avery Bradley had an efficient game scoring 13 points. All OKC starters recorded double digit points while only three Lakers starters could rack up over 10.
