Lakers give up 75 points in second half

Recap of Thunder/Lakers game played on April 26, 2024

As the first round series against the Thunder shifted to the bright lights of Crypto.com Arena, the Lakers were feeling very good about getting a split in the first two games and now focused on the next two at home in hopes they could duplicate last season's success in the first round, but this game was a tale of two halves and in the second half the Lakers defense was missing in action and it cost them dearly as the Thunder scored 75 points in the second half and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who scored only five points in the first half, finished the game with 18 points, four rebounds and 10 assists leading the Thunder to a 121-106 win and taking a 2-1 series lead. Jaylin Williams off the bench provided the Thunder with a big spark adding 18 points, hitting 6-of-8 from the field and 2-of-4 from the three-point line. Josh Giddey and Jalen Williams each had 16 points a piece while Isaiah Joe and Casen Wallace each scored 13 points each off the bench. The Thunder bench outscored the Lakers bench 56-26 in the game. LeBron James led the Lakers with 27 points, six rebounds, nine assists and six blocks. Anthony Davis who got off to a great start with 10 points in the first quarter alone, finished with 23 points, nine rebounds, five assists, 1 steal and six blocks, but shot 9-of-23 from the field. The Lakers did however get some good news with Jarred Vanderbilt and Christian Wood both possibly being available for a pivotal game four in this series coming up.
