Lakers hold on to beat Thunder, reach .500 mark for first time this season at 37-37
It wasn’t the big late-season game the Lakers would have expected once the schedule was announced last summer, but here it was anyways Friday night in Los Angeles.
The Thunder scored 41 points in the second quarter and held the Lakers to 19 in the third, using runs at the end of each to tighten the gap. Oklahoma City finally tied the score for the first time since the first quarter midway through the fourth when Gilgeous-Alexander’s slicing jumper made it 102-all.

James is out because of a right foot injury.It all came with them, once again, short-handed, and forced to employ their next-man up mentality. It’s been the way the Lakers have had to play this season, so many different injuries sidelining so many key pieces.“It’s not too serious,” Ham said, “but serious enough where we need to manage it.”
Ham stuck with Walker in crunch time, where he made another huge three-pointer and grabbed a game-sealing rebound.
