Just an absolute blowout. The Thunder added to their lead despite the pace slowing down. Only real downside has been Dort’s scary fall and injury. He at least walked to the locker room under his own power. But pretty dangerous play nonetheless.
An unreal halftime score. The Thunder were by far the best team from the jump. Gilgeous-Alexander already has 21 points. Dort has 14 points. Williams has 10 points and six assists. OKC is shooting 60% from the field. Lakers have 11 turnovers. Let’s see what the second half looks like.
Doncic loses the ball as it goes out of bounds. Gilgeous-Alexander goes right at the rim without any problem for the layup. Lakers call a timeout. This is a beatdown.
Ummm. Wow. Just pure domination from the Thunder. They created a turnover every other possession and swished in a 3-pointer every other possession. Gilgeous-Alexander has eight points and four assists. Dort has 14 points with four outside makes. Unreal opening frame.
Another turnover for the Lakers. Another 3-pointer for Dort. Redick finally calls a mercy timeout. Los Angeles has one made field goal and eight turnovers.
The Thunder will start Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Lu Dort, Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein. The Lakers will start Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, LeBron James, Jake LaRavia and Deandre Ayton.
