Gilgeous-Alexander scores 30 points as the Thunder beat Doncic and the Lakers 121-92
OKLAHOMA CITY -- — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 30 points and nine assists in three quarters, and the Oklahoma City Thunder rolled past the Los Angeles Lakers 121-92 on Wednesday night.
Isaiah Joe added 21 points for the Thunder, who improved their league-best record to 12-1.
Oklahoma City blew out one of its top Western Conference rivals for the second game. It beat the Golden State Warriors 126-102 on Tuesday night.
Los Angeles guard Luka Doncic was held to 19 points on 7-for-20 shooting. He was averaging 37.1 points coming into the game.
Oklahoma City’s Lu Dort, a defensive stopper who normally guards Doncic, was out with an upper right trapezius strain, and the Thunder got the job done anyway.
Austin Reaves , who was averaged 30.3 points, had 13 points on 4-for-12 shooting for the Lakers. Los Angeles had scored at least 116 points in every game this season, but it didn't get close after shooting 40.3% from the field.
The Lakers played without LeBron James once again, though he practiced on Wednesday for the first time this season. He got some reps with the team’s G League affiliate earlier in the day in California.
Los Angeles could have used another star against Oklahoma City. The Thunder led 30-18 at the end of the first quarter, then held the Lakers without a field goal for nearly eight minutes to start the second. Los Angeles missed its first 11 shots of the quarter as Oklahoma City extended its advantage to 70-38 at halftime.
In the closing seconds of the third quarter, Gilgeous-Alexander drove to the hoop, then fired a behind-the-back pass to Joe, who nailed a 3-pointer as time expired in the period to give Oklahoma City a 100-64 lead.
Up next Lakers: Visit the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday.
