If the Los Angeles Lakers had managed to protect two massive leads against the Oklahoma City Thunder – up 26 on the road last week and up 19 at Staples Center on Thursday night – they would be sitting pretty with a 7-2 record and OKC would be winless at 0-8.

Alas, that isn’t the case. The Thunder outscored the Lakers 35-24 in the fourth quarter and won 107-104 Thursday for their second come-from-behind win against L.A., leaving the new-look Lakers, once again, scratching their collective heads about what happened.

“Defensively we were all over the place,” said Anthony Davis, whose 29 points, 18 rebounds, and 5 assists weren’t enough to lift L.A. to the win. “I feel like they were waiting on our coverages and were just picking us apart. … For some reason this team comes in every time they make shots against us, they made 15 3s again tonight.”
