Final Report
Continuing their streak of Monday home games, the Lakers host the Thunder in what will be their 62nd game of the season, leaving only 19 left in their fight for a higher place in the West standings.
However, they will have a tough obstacle to overcome, as the trajectory of OKC's young and promising team is extremely encouraging, as they remain at the top of the conference and if everything continues this way, it is very likely that we could see a duel between these two teams.
