OKC Thunder 8 most costly losses of 2017-18 season

February 4th, versus Los Angeles Lakers

A Superbowl Sunday matinée against a team ten games under .500 what could possibly go wrong? For the OKC Thunder plenty, there were 14 lead changes in the game, and the Thunder never led by more than four points.

Six different Lakers scored in double figures including Jordan Clarkson who would be traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers four days later. Brook Lopez led the team in scoring with 20 followed by Clarkson who put in 18.

It was Josh Hart who hit timely shots in the first half as he scored 10 of his 14 points. Every time OKC made a little headway there was Hart with another bucket.

While Clarkson and Lopez combined for 25 in the second half. With a little more focus the Thunder could have easily won the game, but alas they simply let a home game slip away.
