SGA dropped 25 and 8 assists as OKC obliterated the Lakers 123-87 — LA's worst game of the season.
The Oklahoma City Thunder demolished the Los Angeles Lakers 123-87 on Monday night — the Lakers' worst performance of the entire season. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way with 25 points and 8 assists, while Isaiah Joe knocked down 6 three-pointers and Chet Holmgren added 15 points and 10 rebounds.
This was a mismatch from the opening tip. The Lakers were without five rotation players combining for 94.6 points per game: Luka Doncic (hamstring, out for the season), Austin Reaves (oblique, out for the season), LeBron James (rest), Marcus Smart, and Jaxson Hayes. What was left was not enough to compete with the NBA's best team.
OKC swept the season series and has won 18 of its last 19 games. They are locked in as the West's No. 1 seed and look every bit like the title favorite. The Thunder's depth is absurd — Jared McCain had 15 points off the bench — and their defense held the Lakers to their lowest output of 2025-26.
