The Lakers are emulating Oklahoma City’s rebuild in the mid-2000s. Similar results may come soon in LA.
For many, the shock of the Lakers’ historic 112-95 win over Golden State still has not subsided. To be fair, the Warriors missed an abundance of open shots. However, this game should not be completely dismissed as a fluke.
The guard tandem of Jordan Clarkson and D’Angelo Russell combined for 46 points, seven three-pointers and six steals. Down low, Julius Randle double-doubled once again with 12 points and 14 boards, and Larry Nance Jr. played his typical strong defense off the bench.
