The Los Angeles Lakers made a major statement to the Oklahoma City Thunder and the rest of the NBA by smashing the Thunder 126-99 on Sunday afternoon. Oklahoma City had come into the game with the league’s best record and top-ranked defense, but the Lakers ripped that defense to shreds by shooting 54.8% from the field and going 22-of-40 from 3-point range.
Even better, they only needed 19 points from LeBron James. Luka Doncic led the assault with 30 efficient points, Austin Reaves scored 20 points and Dorian Finney-Smith and Gabe Vincent combined for 26 points off the bench.
