OKC Thunder at Los Angeles Lakers | Game Highlights | January 15, 2024

Two excellent shot blockers in the game you already saw Anthony Davis deter a drive from giddy so giddy steps outside first shot of the game and he splashes at home from three so Davis gets it at the free throw line those two free throws place that the Lakers like to

Live SGA got it out wide wide open three hren from the outside he’s got his first shot to go down gidy in the corner space short got another rebound that’s two offensive rebounds Dort will let it fly again and this time he’s able to catch

It in yeah third time a a charm D’Angelo Russell no on a three Davis contested and it looked like Jet hren got a piece on the way up yeah yeah Anthony Davis is not used to that he used to getting that nice little floater over the top of you

Nice pass gy sets it up to the cut Davis contested and it looked like Jet hren got a piece on the way up yeah Anthony Davis is not used to that he used to getting that nice little floater over the top of you nice pass gy sets it up

To the cut and Dort gets to the rim [Applause] and he can definitely turn back the clock and there is SGA going right through the Lakers defense and and try to take a charge on Davis cuz Davis is going to feel you out bodywise when he makes that

Move Jaylen Williams once again freshly into the game and he’s got himself a boom he just had a big strong game a couple of nights ago and that loss up at Utah had dropped 39 as the Thunder continue to knock down those threes he’s doing the W of the scoring for

La Shake drives on Chris steep pulls up and that one goes nice little lob over the top Davis fumbled it but got it back and it know as SGA gets the match up he wants with chrisy defending spins away got to the Baseline and then elevates and puts it down and

That’s a foul how about this quick spin no weak side help can get over just knocked the guy out of the way just blow the whistle that’s an n one that’s why he had six the other night Christie on the back side thund go two for one jdub

Nice pass underneath reverse layup ran Jang and they will have an opportunity for it two for one to get open shots Chad hongren nice dump down and J up just inside the block and hren just did get that pass off before he landed player that just has not been able to

Find a home how about this surrounded by black shirts quick redirect by LeBron on the pass hren been confident with the ball in his hands driving then shows the touch nicely done little over the shoulder Bank as usually Jay do making that nice little tasty dish over this time with big

Man you got the exact same record this year as hrd is going to put it back down stays on this end meets It Wide Open for three that one goes and that’s why you got to take that shot that that was contested as well now dead center JB Cuts right down the

Lane hangs in the air plays through a little bump and scores off the glass you know you don’t always get that too but getting that statue was tremendous rumbling down the lane and hren just ate him up yeah that’s what it’s got to do against the Lakers how

About K Wallace just botting up LeBron keeping him out of the lane the rookie showing some physicality don’t always body him out doesn’t always happened that we and now he goes inside with a little confidence and flicks it up and in with the left hand both teams misses some shots but

This is the rookie a little two-way action open shooter Cas Wallace outside no and another offensive rebound it’s Joe who ran right into Anthony Davis how about the thunder just winning the scrappy game right now and you get what you want but that that wasn’t the only hustle play Thunder creating some

Opportunities for themselves the three bottom of the net better job cutting off that cutter Anthony Davis looking for that cutter on that play off the double team oh and Reeves just got totally swallowed up by SGA oh Shay dribbled it off of his foot Prince defending pulls up mid-range

Shot that’s good SGA so smooth still pacing with this Lakers team despite not shooting the ball particularly well and he said look we’ve done a really good job defensively as you see gild Alexander I me you got some great looks in that first half you started out

Pretty good from downtown as Jay dub would do what jdub do in the second half Lakers not shooting it much better from Deep just four out of 16 J fires it over to Dort Dort another three that one’s going to go rips the cords from Deep Lou dor cuz you’ll never

Make it unless you take it good defense Chad hren right there stood tall on ad good job of staying ver avoing that four foul and how about this all of a sudden leading a fast break and you get a trifecta out it and job pulls up at the

Elbow and all of a sudden you see some successive possessions scoop on that plate he has been the best player for the Lakers how about the spin move Chad holgren going against the grain but he is so good when he gets a little head of steam

Going you see not one but two defensive players shading over to SGA jdub has to beat the shot clock and does as that three rattles down I don’t think the Thunder had anything going here cuz the shot clock was under two and and I like the fact that

Thunder gild Alexander we got halfway through the quarter gildas Alexander shooting 6 for nine now on the night Thunder give up drives like that very often as Reeves was able to get to the ren Jada bounces off to him this time defensively and then uses it as a

Stabilizer to knock down that Baseline shot like for a moment there that they might have had some numbers Shay surrounded trying to work something here on the offensive end so Usman Jen steps back behind the line and buries a three the Lakers defense almost had the steal LeBron was headed down the other

Way Shay inside and it leads to a dunk from Jaylen Williams boy what a scattered possession that was here it hasn’t been pretty at times but it’s a tight game two-point game Thunder here on the road Russ coming off that big 39-point game pic good defense and another turnover by the

Lakers is a Lakers team that is not playing well coming in having lost two consecutive six out of eight Shay pulls up that one goes even though there’s been no double digit leads eight points it it feels like an uphill climb well and it’s going to come down to knocking

Down shots man that’s going to be a steal again W the Thunder will gladly take this to start this fourth quarter what a massive slam L this was what opened up the fourth quarter was the Lakers turn over now the Thunder got to play defense that’s

What’s kept him in it Russell trying to save it LeBron turned it over right to Jada now he’s trying to win the race and he will ordinarily don’t see it set it up for Joe Joe keeps that dribble alive pulls up just below the free throw line that one’s good with all

These lead changes and ties now the Thunder double team LeBron to get the ball out of his hands and Chad hren comes over yet again right there that’s what’s happened already in this fourth quarter and that’s a sight for sore eyes you know see you talked about it all it takes is

A couple of Tred to get up the floor quickly kenrich open and that’s backto back threes right now the Thunder trying to avoid those empty trips down that’s a that’s a good pass that time by Shay he’s drawing a lot of attention right now Shay sizing up the defense spinning

Away from Russell Joe’s going to let it go from three missed it wide right another offensive rebound Dort from the outside he lines it up and that one finally pinballs in trying to get an easy look inside bounces off a home GR hren got that hand up there and forced the

Miss this feels like a big possession see if he can get it a little bit closer Shay is going to have the most open Lane that he’s had all night long to Dort able to rip it away on the offensive rebound outside another three Jaylen Williams gets that one to go and credit

L dor possession that you were referencing M It’s just tough to to to get this to happen against the Lakers because they’ve been doing everything right in this fourth quarter he do not and the Thunder will push it up the floor Flo nice Cut backside SGA 4 seconds left

Fourth quarter and that can become exhausting after a while had to play catch up the entire second half and that’ll do it it’s the Lakers 112 105 in game three of this season series between these two teams there will be one more matchup in this building

Watch highlights from Thunder vs Lakers, as the Thunder ultimately fell 112 – 105.

  1. Can't win a game when you take 50 3-pointers making only 15 and get dominated by the Lakers in Points in the Paint, 64-44 and Fast Break Points, 21-11.. We will be ok get ready for the Clippers tonight at 9 pm CT on TNT!!!

  2. yea last match showed signs that this was potentially on the cards. difficult to maintain intensity and focus in such a long season. good to have a couple of loose games now and not deeper in the season 🙂 #giddeyup
