The Oklahoma City Thunder versus the Los Angeles Lakers is the series everyone has been waiting for in the Western Conference. However, despite the hype, Game 1 turned out to be a laugher. The Thunder got up early and then destroyed the Lakers by a final score of 119-90.
Russell Westbrook was the player of the game, scoring 27 points, dishing out nine assists and puling down seven rebounds in only 27 minutes of play. He hit 10-of-15 shots from the field and only turned the ball over once.
The big run by the Thunder happened in the third quarter. With OKC already up by 15 points at the half, the Thunder started the quarter with a 15-2 run to end Los Angeles’ hope.
“From then on,” said Westbrook, “it was cruising for us.”
Game 2 will be on Wednesday in Oklahoma City. While the Lakers don’t face a must-win contest quite yet, they definitely need to look sharper than they did in the opening bout.
