The Oklahoma City Thunder ( 26 - 11 ) defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 117 - 113 on Friday night . The prior results from this particular matchup would have indicated a Thunder blowout , but this was one of the most exciting games of the night . In fact , Oklahoma City won its first two games against the Lakers by a combined 75 points , but could n't slow them down here . The Thunder simply made some big plays late that carried them to a win with very little to differentiate the two teams . Both teams shot right around 50 percent from the field and the pace was incredible throughout . Oklahoma City is one of the three - best rebounding teams in the NBA and that was the difference here , as they recorded 45 boards to the Lakers 34 . The Thunder made this game much closer than expected , but they still ended up with the win . Once again it was Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant who carried the torch for the Thunder . Westbrook flirted with a triple - double by amassing 36 points , 12 rebounds and seven assists in the win . Durant scored 24 points while snatching down seven rebounds as well . This marks Oklahoma City 's fourth - straight road win and that 's a great sign with their road struggles earlier in the season . The Thunder will look to keep the good times rolling on Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers . The Lakers played much better here than most people expected and fans have to be encouraged with the recent play . Lou Williams was just majestic late in this game , as he scored 23 fourth quarter points en route to a career - high 44 points in the game . What was most impressive is that he went 15 - for - 15 from the free - throw line . Kobe Bryant also played very well , as he tallied 19 points , four rebounds and six assists . The bench was yet again a disappointment , as no player scored in double - figures . The best part about this loss was the fight that the Lakers showed , as they played hard throughout and battled against a team who killed them in their first two games . Los Angeles next game will be on Sunday against the Utah Jazz .
