Oklahoma City Thunder Own the Los Angeles Lakers

There are times when a team just seems to have the number of another. No matter what one team does more often than not the other team figures out how to do something better.

Such is the case with the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Los Angeles Lakers. Tuesday night could have been a big night for the Lakers; a chance to get above .500 for the first time in months. Instead it became win No. 10 for the Thunder out of the last 13 times the two clubs have played.



The final outcome was never really in doubt. L.A. had trouble getting it together early on; at one point they had more turnovers than points (5 to 4). The Thunder on the other hand could do no wrong as they dropped 71 on L.A. in the first half alone.

For awhile it appeared as if Kobe was going to be lost injury. He left the game early with a banged up elbow. It was discovered that he had an ulnar nerve contusion. Initially his return was said to be in doubt, but this is Kobe we are talking about-#Vino baby!

He either played through it masterfully or it wasn't that bad in the long run because it was not long before he returned. #Vino

Kobe wasn't enough for the Lakers though as the Thunder easily won this one 122-105.
