OKC Thunder vs Los Angeles Lakers | Game Highlights | December 23, 2023
And his man got that loose change so he did his job to initially block LeBron James’s shot Wallace getting a start here in place of Josh giddy who is out almost like a kid getting taken away on Christmas morning was that nauy or not that was nice okay n just nice silent
Move inside SGA spinning right into it and then goes glass as reddish hit the deck 30% not known for it on the outside again the Lakers switch with Prince going on to Chad HR dor got inside defensive player falls again this time it’s Prince Shay fires it inside jayen
Williams wide open that’s a layup line three and he takes advantage one of the many Kentucky players at the NBA in lock shots three times hogen drives after the ball fake got right around reddish and then shows the touch inside right below the free throw on the way from mid Court
How about this cool hand L shot play fake and a little good job even though he he contested that tip in by Anthony Davis to show you how competitive he is on shots and Shay on the step back it’s a deep two but still so smooth you would
Expect to see a lot of drives from LeBron James a lot of physicality not a lot of physicality in that shot from SGA that’s just pure skill very defensive very physical James G it right back to Davis it look like hren might have got a piece
LeBron’s tap rolls right off the rim and Vanderbilt deflex that outlet pass out of bounds yeah he still got it SJ he will go right through the Lakers defense right to the cup the line and they move the ball just like the Thunder this guy here mov the ball also
Back the back to back sh you see all the Defenders around him finds the open man and it’s K Wallace in the corner his favorite spot on as the Thunder will reset this possession SJ over to Kenrick Williams open three kenri Williams drains one from the outside and he’s been making a right
Pass LeBron tried to give it right back to Davis and it got picked off the bulk of the scoring for La comes from obviously the big two and Davis and LeBron but Reeds has been the guy to help out on SJ fighting through all kinds of entanglement he’s passed to his
Teammates a couple of times this time recognized the contact right there by Reeves and just hoist his up SGA 50 move pulls up in the elbow H boy the Brilliance continues from him win a pass to basketball and how about this folks 2.1 seconds still plenty of time
Bon’s quick release from the outside and bons drills one from Deep not wasting any punches here this is not soccer you can make as many Subs as you want J got to the Baseline pulls up for the shot and beats the end of the first quarter
J just beat the defender and then the beauty how about the arc on that relegated to the bench with some poor shooting some poor play L Dort wasting no time he’ll pull the trigger from deep and knock it down you got to look him up folks rumble’s ready for Christmas hren
On the spin and then the left hand boy went right at D’Angelo Russell this Lakers offense Michael has had it going shooting at 64% raised it from that first quarter and LeBron got wiped away on the help defense from Jed hren it’s a two-on one Jaylen Williams check this out folks access
Denied that is just perfect timing to start a fast break and he PS the block seems like he’s kind of answering that nice pass inside and LeBron James on the back side of Wiggins still able to keep possession J beats the shot clock and there is jener and it was not boxed out
Jaylen Williams shot clock dwindling has to give it up tries to give it up Jay dub to beat the buzzer and he does again that’s the second time this game this so athletic folks I me look at he’s stumbling and he just he just picks it
Up and jumps SJ getting ready to check back in coming up on the six-minute mark they step back for the three Jaylen Williams all of a sudden is starting to see a big BK so they can give those Corner Shooters enough time Davis trying to use his strength
But the Thunder double up on him Isiah Joe came down see kenri Williams and Davis banging and there is a strip might have been a strip from SGA La has put up 69 points here in the first half Runners just have not been able to slow him down
J on the drive nice move went with the left hand had the step in the first half it was the Lakers offense now the thunder gun quiet Dort on the reload three that’s good jdub oh boy that’s a tough shot and he got it up over the tough defense
There of Vanderbilt for Davis there’s the cut series of ball fakes LeBron offensive rebound the turnaround no good Vanderbilt is able to pluck it out of midair you can count up all the open shots so not settling for the three this time it’s a lob to ched homr head Malloy
Right on top of it’s a nice play there’s that foul there at the end man that’s a dangerous pH he was trying to hold on to that Rim watch the end of this he’s trying to hold on but he got pushed so far under the basket that’s
G this time defended by Prince spins away got inside and then puts it down for the two-handed stuff those long rangey defensive players on SGA from reddish to Vanderbilt another good look from three Jen on the reload and that one drops in he had the rebound off the Miss of the second free
Throw Isaiah Joe nice play just cutting around caught it got to his spot right on the elbow you know just to start cutting it to that that deficit right now Lakers have kind of had their way in this third quarter so far that’s a stop right there Anthony Davis Aura went in
For the jam missed it with the left hand Shay ships it up to Jen Jen in transition he will put it down off that Lakers Miss to play at because you can attack that Lakers defense you like because this is Thunder basketball right that’s what the Thunder done in the
Bottom part of that third quarter nice Cut beautiful pass K Wallace waited for it and Darin hand going with maybe his best lineup here to start this fourth quarter with SGA on the bench hen right over LeBron James has the two into the deficit the Lakers offense just keeps
Pouring it in Jay stops on the dime pulls up he’s got a solid night going for him with 18 points after the block by Prince J oh he gets right through the defense slips right to the cup he has done that so many times throughout his career hren off the catch lets that
Three go and makes the three perfect from downtown and Jada now with 28 he’s not going away just been playing with a certain aggression throughout the course of this game LeBron gets free after the double team they lob it up and it got busted up
By ched home and just not enough to slow down the Lakers offense in critical situations as Isaiah Joe will take it the other end he’s got two this is a Four Corners offense just a stall by the Lakers and LeBron he’s going to have it swatted on the backside there from kenri
Williams couldn’t handle the pass cleanly and the Lakers are going to come out with a victory thanks to a really really solid offensive performance from them where they shot it at over 52%
Game highlights as the Thunder hosts the Lakers, and falls 129 – 120.
