The LA Lakers were humiliated by the defending champion OKC Thunder on Wednesday. The Lakers arrived at the Paycom Center brimming with confidence after winning eight of their first 11 games. Their confidence took a heavy beating as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and his men outclassed JJ Redick's team, which laid bare the glaring difference between the two franchises.
The Lakers trailed by a whopping 32 points at halftime after OKC's defense brought the Lakers' offense to a standstill. Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves were completely out of rhythm, and the Lakers’ 11 first-half turnovers reflected their lack of decisiveness on offense. After two quarters, the Purple and Gold were down 70-38.

Losing streak incoming. This team just had a good start, but it's not looking good. Pressure defense is this team's cryptonite. The same thing happened against the Warriors on opening night.

Did not expect this at all but the thunder definitely let us know how far we are from championship form!! We have the pieces just gotta stay grinding!! Hopefully we fight back in this 2nd half with some type of heart!!!
