The Lakers were hoping to make an early-season statement Wednesday night against the defending-champion Thunder but instead they threw up their biggest stinker of the year, losing 121–92 on the road.
The loss drops the Lakers, who wrap up a four-game road trip Friday night in New Orleans, to 8–4. They started with a loss to the Hawks and then beat the Hornets before getting crushed by the Thunder. The 29-point drubbing in Oklahoma City was their largest loss of the young season.
